empowered mothering  

Definición

  • Empowered mothering is a counternarrative to the proscribed mainstream ideals and approaches to motherhood that are entrenched within Western contemporary society. Andrea O'Reilly began using the term empowered mothering in the early 2000s to refer to the theory and practice of mothering that recognizes that women, children, and society at large, benefit when women live their lives as mothers from a position of agency, authority, authenticity, and autonomy.Patriarchal Concepts of MotheringFeminists argue that current ideals and expectations of motherhood are socially constructed as a patriarchal institution that demands all mothers be “good” mothers and that all mothers parent in very specific ways.
