More from My Mother Myself. This is an ad that was run the week before Mother's Day in 1977. It was run by a well known designer label for womens wear. What kind of messages were we sending women in 1977, what kind of messages are we still sending women today? Does it mean to other women that after you become a mother you lose your status as a woman? Is it just me who thinks that when I read those words? Before I became a mother I was a child. It makes me understand why men find women, other than the mother of their of children so desirable. Even though these women are Mothers, they arn't the mothers of their children. Maybe having the child of your husband desexualizes you. Maybe not. I need another coffee before I go any further with this. I am having difficulty wrapping my brain around these words.
