Being mothers without forgetting we are women too. Is there a way to hold together these two realities without letting the maternal instinct prevails?
Recently we are used to take more care to mothers than to women. While being a mother is an evidencebased fact, being a woman is a far more complex business, almost an enigma.
The author here tries to analyze the complexity of being a woman, in order to then understand maternity in a different way: without idealizations and starting from the woman behind every mother. To avoid a society that idolizes the mother while forgets the woman.
A counter-intuitive refl ection on maternity and on the maternal function.
