PEMATRESCENCE: THE PHYSICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND EMOTIONAL PROCESS OF BECOMING A MOTHER.
For 50 years, women have been tirelessly researching, studying, writing, and campaigning for matrescence, one of the most profound transformations to occur in human biology.
But half a century since Dana Raphael coined the word, it’s still missing from major dictionaries.
That ends now.
Because when we don’t name what happens to women, we don’t understand it.
We don’t fund it, we don’t support it, and we can’t prepare for it.
Help us add matrescence to the dictionary.
Help us make matrescence mainstream.
