As part of the Evolving Motherhood conference at the Museum of Motherhood, Professor Antonova will present a historical case study of the diaries of Natalia Chikhacheva, a Russian gentry mother in the 1830s and 1840s, and the diaries of members of her household. Natalia Chikhacheva defined motherhood as ensuring her children’s material comfort, while a wet nurse and nanny nurtured them and her husband was in charge of upbringing. This seemingly unusual arrangement was not considered unusual or a challenge to the then prevalent notion of a woman’s “natural” place in the home. |
