mothering as work  

Definición

  • The nexus between women's physical capacity to reproduce and the socially constituted expectations of maternal care have engendered a universally resonant assumption that mothering is not labor, but is rather a form of being or identity. This essentialist assumption has been entwined with conceptions of maternal care activity as natural, unskilled, and innate for women.The necessary repetitions of mothering (feeding, changing, cleaning, and comforting) have contributed to views of mothering as reproductive activity rather than productive labor. [Source: Encyclopedia of Motherhood; Mothering as Work]
