maternal feminism

Maternal feminism is a perspective within feminism that emphasizes the importance of women's roles as mothers and caregivers. It recognizes that these roles can be empowering and central to women’s identities, while also advocating for social and political equality. Maternal feminists argue that valuing caregiving contributions should be reflected in societal policies and attitudes, and they seek to challenge traditional gender roles that limit women’s opportunities. The approach aims to integrate women's nurturing qualities with their rights and agency, promoting gender justice without dismissing the significance of motherhood.
