In this dissertation I challenge the perennial presumption that lower-class women in Roman Italy, ca. 100 BCE-150 CE based their identities primarily on motherhood. I have chosen to focus on the lower classes because they constitute the bulk of Roman society and they illustrate the nuances of Roman motherhood more completely than elite women, who have more often been the focus of motherhood studies. I ask how women prepared to become mothers and in so doing I also entertain the idea that some women rejected the role. I argue that an exploration of motherhood is not only about how women mothered, but also about whether they mothered and why. Rather than accepting that women were generally aspiring to motherhood, I first interrogate the question then reorient motherhood around the confluence of circumstances and social intersections that shaped a woman's life. This study employs social scientific theory as an avenue for understanding how the intersections affected women's perceptions of motherhood and how those perceptions shaped the choices potential mothers made. Thus, I hope to contribute to the existing body of Roman motherhood studies and demonstrate that traditional interpretations of Roman motherhood obscure their real behavior and contributions to society.
