How the practice of motherhood and everyday experiences of motherhood in three different generations in the Czech Republic had changed? To answer this research question I've used problem centered interview, which provides unique technique of data collection - the interview focuses on own construction of reality and taking into account the impact of social norms and context. In every generation I interviewed 8-10 women.
This study shows that some everyday experiences of mothers differed across the three generations (eg. breastfeeding), but on the other hand some everyday experiences (eg. nurturing role of women) appeared in varying degrees in all generations in Czech society, and often exist until today. It shows that social, structural and expert contexts played important roles across all generations.
