I am a woman at peace with my whole being!

Commentary

I matured a lot and found the peace of being a woman when I distinguished, in me, two great scenarios – the political, social, and professional, on the one hand, and the intimate, loving, and familial, on the other. It is not only a matter of realizing that they are not opposed to each other and can complement one another. Instead, the fundamental discovery is the immense, different, and specific universe of our intimacy as women. In discovering and developing this intimacy, with illusion and decision, lies enormous happiness and great peace as a woman. My feminine intimacy does not develop in the political, economic, and professional world, with other values, mainly utility and profit. It develops in love and, therefore, in the loving relationships of a family. That is where, as a woman, wife, and mother, my value is unconditional, and throughout my whole life, I am worth it all, just because I am me. That feminine intimacy is the key to being a woman at peace with herself, with all that is within me.

Without that discovery and its realization, neither my husband nor my marriage could have advanced so far. As a mother, my presence inside the home, with the harmony, warmth, tenderness, and exquisite humanity infused by my intimacy as a woman, wife, and mother, would not have been possible. My home would be an icehouse, a dirty and inhospitable shack, or a boarding house, but not a warm family.

It is urgent to reclaim motherhood in women. Radical feminism has done much harm to them in this regard. The feeling of orphanhood that many human beings experience today is profound. The weakening of the feminine and maternal presence, with its unique, intimate universe that radiates to the environment, is a severe risk to our world. Women and their feminine genius demand respect for their dignity and the greatness of the riches that lie in their feminine intimacy, thus enhancing their duties and rights. We must emphasize rescuing the love of a woman, wife, and mother so that our children, family, and world are humanized instead of destroyed.
