Valenti once again uses this out of context and claims, “Telling women that what is best for a pregnancy is automatically best for them defines motherhood as a woman prioritizing the needs of a child, real or hypothetical, over her own.” (McCuen 932) Medical science doesn’t see gender when it comes to lung cancer, liver failure, obesity, addiction and brain cell damage, and sexually transmitted diseases…

In absence of it, women made to feel deficient. Similarly, the segment of children is missing in Nina’s marriage and that makes her feel worthless. Adrienne Rich in his book, Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution focuses on the importance of motherhood in these words, “Motherhood is not only a core human relationship but a political institution, a keystone to the domination in every sphere of women by men” (Rich 112).
