future of motherhood  

Definición

  • When considering the future of motherhood, it is important to first acknowledge the multiple meanings the term motherhood may invoke. Definitions of motherhood typically include the state of being a mother, maternity, the character or qualities of a mother, and mothers collectively.Within the developed world, the increasing emergence of a range of nontraditional family structures and technologically mediated motherhood are increasingly challenging traditional understandings of the term, including giving birth, adoption, intercountry adoption, and fostering.
