Word of mother: The power of motherhood
Word of mother starts from the personal history of the author, as a mother and as a health professional and activist, to raise her contradictions and indecisions regarding the maternal experience , as well as her confusion about how the health systems of our society they have ignored and boycotted the wisdom gathered in connection with it.
“I would like to understand what kind of mother I have been. To capture, however fleetingly, the core of my maternal experience. And thus, by the way, better understand the maternal experience in its broadest sense: that of all mothers. I began to be aware of the deep division, of how health systems have ignored mothers and denied their experiences and knowledge, and how the absence of that maternal knowledge has given rise to biased and in many cases harmful science. knowledge based on scientific evidence crashes daily against the reality of a society heir to decades and centuries of contempt for motherhood.”
