In the nineteenth century discourse arose in relation to what is the best way that mothers should raise their children according to the strict opinion of experts. This article explores the evolution of this discourse, gives two contemporary examples of what has become known as scientific motherhood and critiques from a feminist point of view this patriarchal imposition that is a burden on the lives of all the women who are mothers and that affects the image that we have as a society about what motherhood should be.
