L'amour En Plus by Élisabeth Badinter
Histoire de l'amour maternel (XVIIe-XXe siècle)
This thought-provoking work challenges the conventional belief that maternal love is an innate and universal instinct. By delving into historical, sociological, and psychological perspectives, the book argues that the concept of maternal affection has evolved over time, influenced by cultural, economic, and social factors. It suggests that the idealization of motherhood as a natural and selfless bond is a relatively modern construct, shaped by societal expectations and norms. Through a critical examination of historical records and philosophical discourse, the book invites readers to reconsider the complexities and variabilities of maternal love across different eras and societies.
