There are women who are opposed to the role of motherhood; there are too many roles for women that overwhelm the role of motherhood; and the role of motherhood has been neglected and misdirected by society. Therefore, the socialization of motherhood requires, first and foremost, the attention of the whole society and a change of concepts. This change requires the whole society to have a clear understanding of the reproductive and educational functions of motherhood.
