Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Maternidad consciente, Casadevall hace un repaso exhaustivo de los temas fundamentales que rodean los dos primeros años de crianza, desde su experiencia como matrona y el amor de madre: empezando por el posparto y la lactancia, pasando por el papel de la pareja durante la crianza, el sueño del bebé, la introducción a la alimentación complementaria, el movimiento o el juego y tratando aspectos como la vuelta al trabajo, la opción de coger una excedencia para cuidar o la importancia de hacer tribu en este importante periodo de nuestra vida. «El objetivo de este libro es relatarte la maternidad desde un lugar sincero y amable, una maternidad real, sin tabús y sin culpas, para que conozcas lo que puede pasar, lo que puedes sentir, lo que vas a vivir (o no). Pretendo darte herramientas y compartir contigo las experiencias de tantas madres a las que he acompañado a lo largo de mi carrera. Mi intención es dar voz a nuestras vivencias para que, cuando alguna mujer se sienta sola o perdida, pueda recurrir a estas páginas y comprobar que todas hemos pasado por lo mismo, porque las madres solo buscamos esto: sentirnos acompañadas, comprendidas, apoyadas y menos solas en el camino de la maternidad y la crianza».

Download or read book Sex and Society in Early Twentieth Century Spain written by Alison Sinclair and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2007-09-15 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book traces how Hildegart’s conception, life and early death can be mapped in uncanny manner onto the rise, organization and decline of the Sexual Reform movement in Spain. Conceived deliberately in 1914 as a ‘eugenic’ child (at a date when writing on eugenics was well under way in both England and Spain), Hildegart received her early education from her mother who in her turn had received her own from her father’s library, rich in works of utopian socialism. Subsequently and formally, Hildegart’s education through the 1920s coincided with a period in Spain when writing on eugenics and sex reform became particularly intense. It encompassed both law and medicine (favoured disciplines for those involved in the sex reform movement), and her teens provided a social education within the meetings and publications of the Campaña Sanitaria of Navarro Fernández in the 1920s. Hildegart’s own rise to a position of prominence in the world of eugenics and sex reform undoubtedly relates to her concentrated and impressive publishing activity from 1930 onwards, at a time when writings of others involved in sex reform equally reached heightened activity. The coming of the Second Republic in 1931 further facilitated this publishing activity, and made possible the organization of the Spanish chapter of the WLSR in Spain (the Liga Mundial Para la Reforma Sexual) in March 1932 with Gregorio Marañón as its President, and the youthful Hildegart (age 17) as its Secretary. The Liga gathered together the groupings of hygienists, eugenicists, lawyers and educational reformers who were already part of a wider international scene, and who had been promoting ideas of eugenics and sexual reform in Spain for some time, and particularly through the 1920s. Little more than a year after the Liga was founded Hildegart was killed by her mother, Aurora Rodríguez. It is hard to assert that this shocking event caused the death of the Liga. Nonetheless the movement in Spain seems not to have survived in coherent manner beyond 1933, although individual members continued to be active in various ways. More widely through Europe the WLSR lasted through the 1930s, although its continuity through other organizations until a later date is still insufficiently researched. In the background to the activity leading up to the founding of the Liga there is Hildegart’s correspondence with Havelock Ellis. She wrote to him to seek his advice on setting it up. The correspondence was far more than a simple request for advice, and it lasted until Hildegart’s death. It includes her record of the foundation meeting of the Liga with details of discussion of the ten planks of belief of the WLSR, and reveals the inbuilt power-struggles between professional factions in the organisation. Both the foundation document and the letters require careful interpretation. The foundation document reveals dissension within the Liga at the same time as it shows Hildegart’s energetic efforts to assert her own position within it. The letters themselves tell us much about Spanish sexual politics. But at the same time, and even more strikingly, they are full of Hildegart’s character: her style moves between business-like discussion, an endearing and ingenuous flirtatious manner, distress, and even paranoia. Above all the letters reveal a side of this youthful sexual reformer never documented elsewhere, and their extraordinary discursive nature encapsulates the paradoxes and conflicts in Spain at the time relating to thoughts on sexuality and reform. The correspondence with Ellis is moreover a text with a dramatic subtext, in that it allows us to glimpse in poignant and dramatic detail the personal tensions and anxieties in the life of this young woman who was to be murdered by her mother. The letters also testify to Hildegart’s strong and touching attachment to Ellis as mentor in the setting up of the Liga and, more personally, as a father-figure. The correspondence thus provides a unique window onto a movement and an individual both full of complexity and provide pointers the links between ideas and sexuality in England and the way such ideas were explored in Spain.

Book excerpt: A modern motherhood book to connect you back to yourself As we enter into motherhood, we are often given a filtered version of what motherhood will be like with a silent list of expectations on how to be a "good" mother. This outdated story is what sets us on a course where we place pressure on ourselves to be it all and do it all. Ultimately, we lose ourselves. Worldwide, we have mothers who are surviving instead of thriving. Depleted, unfulfilled and longing to find the woman they have lost since becoming a mother. Now, women are calling from within their souls to find their own version of motherhood that feels good and is free from judgement, guilt and self-sacrifice. Conscious Motherhood is not just every woman's invitation to change the story of motherhood, it also encourages you to journey into yourself, to heal your heart and welcome balance between yourself and mother. This modern motherhood book will help you find balance and peace of mind through embracing all the experiences of motherhood - both the beautiful and madness. It will guide you to welcoming more understanding and acceptance of the imperfect beauty of motherhood. Get ready to re-love yourself, trust your intuition and create dreams alongside an enriched experience of motherhood. This is your homecoming to the woman you were always meant to be.

Download or read book The Mother Consciousness written by Susan Elizabeth Richardson and published by . This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dancing on the taboo side of motherhood The Mother Consciousness enlightens us with evidence that conscious parenting is precisely what our maternal foremothers did before us. Richardson enticingly suggests that they have left these lessons in our collective unconscious to access at our will. Once we are able to listen to these essential lessons we will be able to reclaim our instinctual rights to effectively parent for the health and well-being of our children, grandchildren, and children of the future. While delicately pairing holistic concepts with irrefutable data Richardson challenges us to embrace topics such as natural childbirth, co-sleeping, natural immunizations, and extended breastfeeding. With heartfelt personalized chapters this is a must read for every mother and mother advocate.

Download or read book The Changing Face of Motherhood in Spain written by Catherine Bourland Ross and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-24 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the perceptions of motherhood in Spanish author Lucía Etxebarria’s fiction and offers views of the importance of motherhood in society. Traditional expectations for women as mothers persist despite the fact that they no longer match Spain’s cultural and economic reality. These issues of gender equality and societal perceptions stand out in the novels and screenplays of Etxebarria. Her work at times resists and at times affirms patriarchal constructs associated with traditional Spanish motherhood, and ultimately, I argue, enacts the very complexity of contemporary Spanish motherhood ideals. By showing the tension between the past constructs of the mother and the possible future outcomes of gender equality, Etxebarria’s works navigate the complexity between past and future, illuminating the current and future uncertainties and the ambivalent nature of change. Each chapter views motherhood from a different perspective and focuses on particular works of Etxebarria. Through the depiction of a variety of mother characters, these different perspectives, as showcased in Etxebarria’s narratives, together compose an understanding of Spanish maternal identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin eugenics was a scientific, cultural and political programme designed to biologically empower modern European and American nations once commonly described as 'Latin', sharing genealogical, linguistic, religious, and cultural origins. Latin Eugenics in Comparative Perspective offers a comparative, nuanced approach to eugenics as a scientific programme as well as a cultural and political phenomenon. It examines the commonalities of eugenics in 'Latin' Europe and Latin America.

Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources in many languages, this book offers the first history of Latin eugenics in Europe and the Americas.
