Motherhood has always been one of the key topic of feminist thought and analysis. The aim of this article is to analyse what cultural, structural, or institutional conditions influence the realisation of motherhood practices in three selected generations of Czechs (from the 1950s to today) using biographical interviews. The analysis shows that these conditions are improving, and consequently mothers have more opportunities to expand their motherhood projects. Only in the narratives of today’s mothers are these conditions uncertain and vague. They are pressed to explain every decision they make in the motherhood project. Social structures determine how successfully they are able to justify their decisions.

Entrepreneurship may be associated with independence and profi t, but it may also be a precarious type of employment. Self-employment is often a strategy for those groups of workers who face marginalisation and disadvantages on the labour market, such as mothers of young children or migrants. In this paper we use an intersectional approach and draw on the theory of precarity to analyse how Czech and Ukrainian entrepreneurs with small children (in the Czech Republic) describe and perceive precarity in self-employment. Our analysis shows that entrepreneurship is a form of precarious work, especially for mothers of young children. Their social position, which forms on the intersection of gender, caring commitments, and/or migration status, serves to constrain or allow certain career choices. While the main source of disadvantage for Czech entrepreneurs is the intersection of gender and caring commitments (e.g. in work-life balance), the social position of Ukrainian entrepreneurs (in the Czech Republic) is much more precarious because of their status as migrants (e.g. their low income from business is further reduced by the cost of private insurance, the paying of remittances, or the repayment of debts for migrating to the Czech Republic).
