Mothers who aren't absent in my work tend to be close spiritual sisters of Medea.
(Which is not, let me clarify, a reflection on my own mother. I think it's more a reflection on what I suspect I'd be like as a mother.)
Of course, Methony also has more than a little Medea in her, and it's no accident that Mildmay's Keeper--the only other available mother-figure--is named Kolkhis.
Ahem.
Okay, issues with women's traditional nurturing roles, check.
