Work Description

«Sabemos mucho más acerca del aire que respiramos o de los mares que atravesamos, que acerca de la naturaleza y del significado de la maternidad». En medio del clima de activismo y publicación feminista de los años setenta del siglo XX, la cuestión de la maternidad no había sido abordada en toda su complejidad hasta la aparición de este libro. Nacemos de mujer fue publicado en 1976. En este trabajo, Adrienne Rich aunó vivencias, investigación histórica y antropológica y reflexión feminista con el propósito de radiografiar la «institución de maternidad»: la maternidad bajo el patriarcado como un conjunto de normas y controles que organizan las funciones de la familia y las labores de las «mujeres» respecto de su rol programado socialmente. Enfrentada a esta institución, la autora apostó por recuperar la palabra «maternidad» junto con la experiencia única, diversa, personal, compartida, en un análisis abierto que no deja de abordar los condicionamientos, las imposiciones y los roles. En nuestro tiempo, aún, tenemos mucho que pensar sobre cómo el capitalismo y el patriarcado usurpan las experiencias de los cuerpos gestantes; por eso, disponer de Nacemos de mujer es un excelente punto de partida.
