摘要：

There are two cross-cultural and trans-historical myths associated with stepmotherhood: the evil stepmother myth and the myth of instant love. The tenacity of these myths has served to stigmatize stepmothers. This paper describes the myths associated with stepmothers, details how these myths affect stepmother life, reveals dilemmas in identity management for stepmothers, and indicates identity management strategies stepmothers might utilize.
