social construction of motherhood  

Definición

  • The approach that motherhood is a social construction rejects the assumption that practices of mothering, traits of mothers, and meanings of motherhood are in any way natural, biological, essential or inevitable. Rather, it implies that the ways of perceiving and experiencing motherhood in society are the result of processes of social construction.
