«Der Konflikt: Die Frau und die Mutter» is the essay by Elisabeth Badinter published by C.H. Beck in hardback (222 pages, in German).
Badinter denounces the idealisation of perfect motherhood as a social pressure that threatens female emancipation. The total dedication demanded generates guilt in mothers with their own working lives and questions whether constant closeness is indispensable. She defends women's freedom to decide about their bodies and their relationship with their children.
