Eleonora Meleti, drawing from her personal experiences, discusses social stereotypes and everything that every woman faces because of them, delivering a message: each one must be accepted just as they are, with their choices and all their feelings.
"Single or not, with a child or without, working or lounging, with weight or slim, we are above all women. We don't need to label each other, we don't need to judge each other harshly. All feelings are acceptable, and we are good at our core, no matter how we experience each change. We just need to prepare for it, embrace it, and live it as each of us knows and can."
Through experiential narration, the book addresses the difficulties that a modern woman faces when she does not follow stereotypes. The psychological pressure she may face as a price for her choices when they go against the norm, the guilt and shame that overwhelm her when she does not follow the beaten path.
This is a book that uncovers the facade of perfect motherhood and debunks the myth that women find fulfillment through marriage and family creation. While we as individuals may not change radically, we are called by circumstances to learn to interpret ourselves and situations through a new lens.
"The reason I decided to speak openly about such delicate and personal issues, such as relationships, love, marriage, and motherhood, is that I discovered over time that these are not experienced as personal matters at all, but more as familial or even social issues, if not universal, often in a way that screams from afar how suffocating even the very concepts they represent are within the narrow molds of timelessly chiseled public opinion."
