That the connection between motherhood and emancipation in feminism seems to have played no role since the 1990s is seen by Marie Reusch as a weakness of the feminist emancipation project. Her normative study culminates in a categorial grid of the feminist analysis of motherhood and and being a mother and a passionate plea to make the self-understanding of practices, appropriations, and interpretations of motherhood political among women. It is a pity that the supportive and refreshing concerns are put forth only partially and (unfortunately) in a legitimizing manner. In addition, the theoretical, empirical and historical reasoning also consistently disregards the other, East German reality in state socialism and since reunification.
