La experiencia de la maternidad en el contexto de la discapacidad

Abstract

Motherhood as a social construction, although it has been supported in the generation of a series of mandates related to the ought to be feminine and maternal, also involves that this experience can be highly variable. The heterogeneous and contradictory character of the action, affections and forms of representation around the maternal duty, make us recognize the trail and the agency of the experience. Most of the mothers who accompanied this study are women in rural environments who have enormous economic deprivation and limited resources of information are also mothers of children with disabilities who do not appear to correspond with the image of the modern mother, not because they don’t trying, but the experience they try to proclaim, whether they do or not, will never be enough.
