Description
This essay is the first examination in English of the portrayal of the mother figure in the writing of Israel's most celebrated and greatest living author Amos Oz. Through a reading of several of Oz's novels and short stories, the essay will argue that the anti-motherhood theme permeates Oz's gender constructs in many of the works of fiction he has produced, and is part of a more general campaign of reinforcing negative and conventionalised views of women. In her groundbreaking book Sexual Politics Kate Milett declares that: "As we all know, it has been open season on mothers for some two decades" (Millett 1971: 336). In her analysis of misogyny in literature Rogers posits that the twentieth Century has seen the increasing tendency of male authors to attack motherhood and concludes that: "The most significant new development of recent decades has been the undisguised attacks on woman as mother." (Rogers:1996, 230).
