Why is it important?

Although mothers has a crucial social role in caring for their children and raise them to be healthy socialized citizens they rarely use their influence as a social ethical stand. this paper offer a way in which mothers and daughters can affirm the ethical values that are part of these unique relations

Perspectives

this paper is an attempt to look at the past as a resource for political life. I look for women who dared to challenge their culture and roles, in order to create a lineage that can inspire and support women;s political struggles.
