Definition

  • Motherself, a concept represented in the book Motherself: A Mythic Analysis of Motherhood by Kathryn Allen Rabuzzi, a member of the English department at Syracuse University. Motherself is a spiritual and psychological concept that offers a method for women to achieve self-fulfillment through a gynocentric recovery of matrilineal spiritual heritages where mothers-as-women are celebrated, rather than through traditional patriarchal means.
