Giving life - Michela Murgia

Description

2023 Rizzoli

Can we be mothers of daughters and sons who choose themselves, and who in turn have chosen us? Is it possible to build a family without blood ties? The answer is yes. Family queerness is now a reality, and addressing it is a political necessity, as is that of a clear and open dialogue on pregnancy for others, a theme that undermines the presumed root of being a woman. Questioning ourselves and discussing this root means challenging the concept of normality and naturalness to which we are accustomed. Michela Murgia has done it for years, in her books and on social media, and in the last weeks of her life she collected her thoughts to give us this very dense and precious pamphlet, in which she tells us - starting from personal experience - another model of motherhood , how life can be given without generating biologically, how soul bonds can be added to blood bonds. Extraordinary pages that allow us to enter into the infinite facets of affection and to understand how opening up to others does not reduce but amplifies love.
