“Madre de nadie (o por qué siempre he sido madre) ( translation: Mother of no one (or why I’ve always been a mother) Explores the author’s complex relationship with motherhood and the concept of mothering. The author, who initially declared herself sure of not wanting to be a mother, reflects on how she has mothered throughout her life in different relationships, although she has never had biological children.
The text analyzes five main reasons why the author had decided not to be a mother: The fear of losing her identity, the burden of responsibility, the double workday, the fear of violence against women, and the desire to rebel against patriarchal expectations.” -Publisher
