As written by Oriana Fallaci in her book “Letter to a Child Never Born”
Being a woman is soft and beautiful …
An adventure that requires endless courage and tireless resistance.
Being a woman,
Motherhood, Motherhood is not a profession
Not a social class, it is not a duty …
Motherhood that seems to be the evolution of a woman’s fate …
The fate you are afraid of
From the imagination of pregnancy
From anxiety
From pain
From having to tolerate pain …
And this choice a conscious choice …
And a mother’s right …
A Sort of Family
A glorious battle of a woman for her motherly right …
A woman who for the development of her world
For becoming a mother and motherhood
It’s inevitable for her instincts to make her the hero in our story.
She is the only one in our story who argues, lies, cries, wins, loses, smiles and … and embodies the emotions of motherhood
She does not get tired, she doest not give up…
When the decisive moment arrives
she makes the right choice ….
Maybe the most important chapter
Perhaps the most difficult chapter of a mother’s story …
She makes a courages choice …
Triumphant
With full knowledge
of her rights as a woman
of the conditions forced upon her
sacrifice ….
So that this weird and oft repeated tale
The story of motherhood
We are surprised watching it
But our hearts calms and sure
