dc.description.abstractMotherhood is an issue which is unarguably one of the most influential and consistently present factors in our lives. However, it is also one of the topics that is the most idealized and romanticized in both literature, popular culture and public opinion as a whole, and that gave birth to many stereotypes about women. This might be one of the reasons why the topic is frequently the focus of dystopian novels, since they give space to showing a distorted mirror image of the society we live in. In my thesis I examine two contemporary dystopian novels, the Blue Ticket by Jane Rogers and The Testament of Jessie Lamb by Sophie Mackintosh, exploring their treatment of motherhood and the cultural myths pertaining to it. The subversion of the classic perception of motherhood coupled with the acceptance one of the most essential stereotypes of the concept is present in both novels.hu_HU
