Abstract

Social and cultural anthropology has studied reproduction from numerous viewpoints –kinship, symbolism, feminism, health– highlighting its scope and its social, constructed and central role to the preservation of any society. Based on this view, the authors put forward certain hypotheses by which to understand reproduction as an issue uniting women’s lives today, and which should be an object of study relevant to science.
