The bond of mother and child extends far beyond the experience of motherhood, when the relationship between a mother and her children is promoted as an enforced identity that is being controlled within the belief systems of a particular culture. In many cultures, being a child-bearer or breeder is the extent to which value is determined for the female identity, while the labor it entails is largely degraded and unpaid, denying women their full dignity and potential as a human being. Motherhood is generally valued and declared sanctified as long as the child bears the name of the father who has legal control over the existence of the mother and child. | The bond of mother and child extends far beyond the experience of motherhood, when the relationship between a mother and her children is promoted as an enforced identity that is being controlled within the belief systems of a particular culture.
