Kobieta matka vs. kobieta-nie-matka

The problem was solved in the qualitative methodology. The purpose of this study was to study women’s reflections on motherhood and childlessness. The main research problem was included in the question: Do childless women disproving the thesis that maternity is a fulfillment for a woman and the best capital for the future have any arguments for the thesis and what are they? In-depth interviews were used. The research has shown that for childless women not of their own choice, maternity is indeed a fulfillment and capital for the future. They fully agree with the values of maternity indicated by women in the role of a social mother (thanks to children they experience a lot of joy, in old age or sickness they get children’s support, they will never be alone, children give a sense of life), and like they perceive childless life alike. Another view on the “free from child” life is presented by women without children.
