Society continues to define women in terms of those who are mothers and those who aren’t or can’t be. Motherhood is frequently associated with sacrifice, selflessness, and unconditional love, but is this all that it entails? In a session full of passion, the speakers will discuss the various aspects of motherhood, particularly the stereotypes and struggles that women face today regarding motherhood.
