UNDO MOTHERHOOD explores the reasons why a significant number of women around the world today regret becoming mothers and points a finger at the patriarchal institution of motherhood, which from a very young age pushes women to become mothers, promising the utmost fulfilment and happiness, and then abandons them, very often at the cost of their own lives. The women in the project love their children and are excellent mothers when judged according to society’s standards, and yet they hate the oppressive mother role that robbed them of their own existence and suffer through it in silence, feeling it to be the worst mistake they have made. This book is a wake-up call for society which is built upon violence and discrimination against women and uses the myth of happy motherhood to keep women under control in a subservient role.
