Write an essay on motherhood and the gendered bodies with the help of case narratives inferred from published reports or with the help of primary data.

It is perceived that the failure of women’s embodied labour in meeting the social obligations (desire for a son) leads towards devaluing her subjective self and the body. Women’s labour is based on social conditions,hence easily underplayed by the family and community at large. Let us read the story of another woman who has used her productive body as medium to exercise freedom and agency in the society. Sangeeta is in her thirties, expecting her first child after twelve years of marriage. As she narrated, in all these years she has countered her husband and in-laws’s actions and words with regard to her childlessness. Apart from her paid labour, she equally contributes intensive and heavy work as part of embodied labour. She says, her husband is “dependent upon me and will remember me proudly after my death”. Men are hungry for women’s body. In this connection, she made a distinction between sexual desire and female labouring body. Men exercise power and dominate women by using women’s bodies in the execution of socially accepted form of labour, which often not considered as a form of domination by the society (Thapan, p. 136). The female body is seen as a tool to carry out reproductive labour and becomes instrumental in women’s oppression. _______ ______ __________ __________ __________ ________ ___ _________ __________.
