Resumen

El presente estudio parte de la visión contradictoria de la maternidad como rasgo distintivo del cuerpo de la mujer y punto de partida para establecer su identidad femenina. A partir de las teorías sobre la maternidad de dos grandes críticas feministas francesas (Simone de Beauvoir, que defiende un rechazo radical de la maternidad que ha encarcelado de por vida a las mujeres, y Julia Kristeva, que en su ensayo "Stabat Mater" apunta la necesidad de utilizar estratégicamente el cuerpo de la madre, trascendiendo su esencialismo biológico y descubriendo el potencial que ofrece para la autorrealización femenina), se inspecciona la maternidad metafórica de la autora neocelandesa Katherine Mansfield tomando como corpus sus cartas y diarios para demostrar la alternativa literaria de esta escritora a las restricciones de la maternidad biológica de las protagonistas de sus relatos.
