Description

Con un acercamiento claro, honesto y disruptivo a las complejidades de la experiencia materna en el siglo XXI, Mamá desobediente se ha convertido en un libro esencial sobre la maternidad en la era del feminismo.

Es posible ser mamá y feminista al mismo tiempo? Hay alguna salida al dilema carrera vs. familia ?

En Mamá desobediente, la periodista, socióloga y madre feminista Esther Vivas aborda estas y otras interrogantes al explorar la maternidad desde un punto de vista emancipatorio. Con un tono fresco pero riguroso, respaldado por una nutrida investigación y en la experiencia personal de la autora, este libro aborda los asuntos menos frecuentados en torno a la maternidad, como la infertilidad, el embarazo, el parto, la violencia obstétrica y la lactancia, ofreciendo guía, datos y herramientas a quienes deseen emprender este recorrido desde una postura crítica.

El enfoque de Vivas, aclamado en España y Latinoamérica, es claro y honesto, y refleja la necesidad que de abordar la experiencia materna desde ángulos disruptivos y realistas, alejados de la excesiva idealización que ignora sus obstáculos y retos, y la confina al ámbito de lo doméstico. Una vez hemos conquistado el derecho a elegir nuestra maternidad, debemos poder decidir cómo vivirla.

Is it possible to be a mother and a feminist at the same time? Is there a way out of the "career vs. family" dilemma? If we have chosen to be mothers, to what extent can we decide about our motherhood?

In Mamá desobediente, the Spanish journalist, sociologist, and feminist mom Esther Vivas tackles these and other interrogations, exploring maternity in an emancipating way and without impositions. With a fresh but rigorous note, underpinned in deep research and author's personal experience, this book addresses commonly neglected issues surrounding maternity, such as infertility, pregnancy, childbirth, obstetric violence, and breastfeeding, and offers guidance and actionable tools for those who desire to embark in this journey from a different standpoint.

Vivas' approach feels fresh and reflects the appetite amongst younger generations for disruptive, realistic, and political takes on maternity and parenting, removed from the idealization and over-romanticization that put aside its hitches and challenges, and confine them as exclusively private matters. In the last years, this has become a recurrent topic in Spanish-language literature, especially at the new wave of Latin American women writers, but remains a largely unexplored path in non-fiction.

«Mamá desobediente se destaca por introducir un amplio abanico de temas aún no suficientemente explorados en español. Es una contribución muy oportuna». -- Booklist (starred review)
