Sommario/riassunto

The social construction of motherhood is a universal theme that is significant in all societies. This book shows how the social institutions of work, politics, sex, religion and psychology provide definitions of what a mother should be and how the works of Lucía Etxebarria reflect the changes in Spanish society regarding motherhood.
