Abstract

In this book, the author builds a work that interrelates and expresses several of her research interests, such as gender, emotions and social narratives. In this work she recovers a great plurality of sources to build it, from classic books of the social sciences, from knowledge considered non-scientific, articles of diverse origin, to web pages -blogs, pages-. The above with the purpose of initiating a serious, but not boring, reflection on the word mother. The work begins with a prologue where the reader is invited to "reflect in an amusing way" (Fernández, 2018: 9) on the multiple meanings, meanings and practices related to the mother and motherhood in Mexico, to the words and expressions directed to and used by mothers. As Lev S. Vygotsky (1984) posits, a word is a microcosm of human consciousness.
