Where do I begin? for some reason I have a lot to disagree with Kristeva. She is saying that capitalism has been victorious in achieving some equality for women in four areas: economic, political, professional and the permissiveness of sexual relations. She attacks Marxian ethics because it does allow for sexual juissance, abortion and contraception. I also dislike her comparison of society's symbolic view of women as castrated men to the literal sense in which Freud once put it.
However, I like her view on motherhood and on motherly love, saying that this kind of love is not masochistic, however, she says that a woman should never have to sacrifice, but sacrifice to what extent? For example, does a mother not have to get up at 3 am at some point in her life to take her child to the hospital? Or did she mean sacrificial in in a sense in which the woman becomes voiceless?
