Self-pursuit and Responsibilities:On Mother's Sacrifice,Struggle and Growth in Munro's Short Stories
In the late 1960sand 1970s,the second wave of feminist movement sweeps across North America,aiming to advocate for gender equality and women's rights.This movement has a profound impact on the status and rights of women.Alice Munro,through various short stories,explores the construction of maternal identity within the backdrop of this transformative era.In a time of societal transition in Canad,mothers are still influenced by traditional ethical expectations of responsibility while also being exposed to the burgeoning ideas of female liberation.They find themselves torn between self-exploration and their ma-ternal duties.As a contemporary master of short stories,Alice Munro not only enjoys global literary acclaim but also delves deep into societal issues surrounding the role of mothers.Her stories illuminate the evolu-tion of maternal consciousness during a period of shifting family and marital values,simultaneously analyz-ing the profound implications of women's self-discovery,which in turn inspire contemplation and motivate action for change.
