![]() It doesn't portray Maeve or the other female characters has being respected by most of the male characters. Maeve is the heroine of the piece and yet the lens seemed imbued with patriarchy and oppression of women, with women relegated largely to the roles of witches, seers and feisty trouble maker. The Jeshua character was also a bit too biblical and Yaweh-fearing to be believable. It's debatable of course when exactly the patriarchy came into ascendancy, but if modern Druidry is anything to go by, this depiction seems far from credible. ![]() The Druid college was depicted as having a culture more like Hogwarts or the Catholic Church than a nature-based pagan school. The modern day American lens was all too obvious and there were many obvious misinterpretations of the Celts and ancient Druidry.

But she is simultaneously urged to be a nurturing mother for the baby and a selfless mother who will not negotiate the payment received. The surrogate in India is expected to be a disciplined contract worker who gives up the baby at the termination of the contract. ![]() However, unlike women in factories who have to be constituted as the perfect worker of managers’ dreams, surrogates have to be constituted as the perfect mother‐worker subject. She is produced, instead, in fertility clinics and surrogacy hostels. In this ethnographic study of commercial surrogacy in a small clinic in western India, I argue that a good commercial surrogate, like a good laborer of global production, is not found ready‐made in India. It is produced through the practices and rhetorics of the shop floor. Abstract: Feminist analysts of women in global production have demonstrated that “good” labor is not found ready‐made. ![]() |
