摘要

在20世纪70年代解放主义女权主义的理论和讨论中，爱丽丝·蒙罗出版了她1978年的短篇小说《你以为你是谁？该集的第七个故事《普罗维登斯》仍然是加拿大散文中最早的例子之一，它明确探讨了女性女权主义解放和母性经历所固有的冲突，也是蒙罗探索最少的故事之一。《天意》捕捉到了单身母亲养育孩子的脆弱而细腻的经历，其中的困难和牺牲，以及同样痛苦和（仍然）难以言说的放弃母亲角色的选择。蒙罗的中心主人公最终选择了女权主义解放而非母性，无法调和她对个人自主和脱离父权制家庭的自由的渴望，也无法调和她女儿对母亲的需求。

Alice Munro’s “Providence,” Second-Wave Feminism, and the (Im)possibilities of Reconciling Motherhood and Liberation

Amidst the theoretical and discursive landscape of 1970s liberationist feminism, Alice Munro published her 1978 short-story cycle, Who Do You Think You Are? The seventh story in the collection, “Providence,” remains one of the earliest examples of Canadian prose which explicitly explores the conflicts inherent to women’s experiences of feminist liberation and motherhood, and is among Munro's least critically explored stories. “Providence” captures the tenuous and exquisite experience of single-mothering a young child, its difficulties and sacrifices, and the equally painful and (still) unspeakable choice to leave one’s maternal role behind. Munro's central protagonist ultimately chooses feminist liberation over motherhood, unable to reconcile her desire for personal autonomy and freedom from the patriarchal family with her daughter’s need to be mothered.
