Abstract

This paper analyzes my concerns, confusions, ruptures, and assumptions of my desired and not experienced late motherhoodfrom auto-ethnographic reflections. In a continuous dialogue between feminist critique and my experiences,I question aspects of motherhood, gender roles and mandates, and symbolic violence againstwomen. The methodological proposal of auto-ethnography is configured as acritical reflective method of our subjectivities, which offers the possibility of exploring gender conflicts in the first person, as a reflection of society, strengthening resistance togender violence and providing a space for feminist activism. The present auto-ethnography places non-maternity at the centre of the discussion as a configurable option in the future of a feminist experience.

Keywords:
