Momfluencers, Tradwives, and the Perils of Modern Motherhood
Briefly

Motherhood in the U.S. is often idealized, yet actual mothers frequently feel overwhelmed and unappreciated, revealing a gap between societal expectations and personal experiences.
Momfluencers, particularly the tradwife archetype, provide a sense of community and support for overwhelmed mothers, while also raising questions about the intersection of their beliefs with broader sociopolitical issues.
As the incoming presidential administration looms, the role of tradwives within the narrative of motherhood may need to confront underlying themes of privilege, race, and societal norms.
It's essential to acknowledge how marginalized voices, particularly mothers of color, are often sidelined in mainstream motherhood narratives and the momfluencer community.
