Propuestas teóricas feministas en relación al concepto de maternidad

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to review the different theoretical feminist points of view as regards maternity. I offer a bibliographic and interdisciplinary (History, Anthropology and Sociology) search about the theoretical and empirical aspects of maternity from the feminist point of view. I have organized the bibliographical revision in two parts depending on the theoretical points of view; the first one belongs to the feminist pints of view that disarticulate the model of a good mother, whether it is through the reconstruction of the maternal instinct, or through the concept of maternity as the main idea of feminine identity. In the second part, I have put together the feminist points of view that reconstruct maternity understanding it as a source of pleasure, knowledge and power which is particularly feminist.
