Poquita sangre

"Poquita sangre" explains "stories of women who are living or have lived their motherhood after the age of 40." Through portraits and personal testimony, it proposes a "shared narrative" of "the badly named late motherhood." The author stresses the importance of developing this project, because Spain ranks at the top of European countries with the highest percentage of births to mothers over 40, as well as among the countries with the fewest births per year. The difficulties women face in reconciling motherhood with working and social life explain this phenomenon. The overload of domestic responsibilities, given the limited effective support for families, means that many women perceive motherhood as an obstacle to their professional and economic lives.
