The Abandoners

On Mothers and Monsters
Langbeschreibung
What kind of mother abandons her child? It's a question that conjures the worst kind of moral judgment. Yet during the pandemic, trapped at home with young children and struggling to find creative space to write, journalist Begoña Gómez Urzaiz became fixated on artistic women who were able to overcome both society's condemnation and their own maternal instincts to leave their children-at will or due to economic or other circumstances. More than anything, she was fascinated by her own prejudice toward these women, so clearly tied up in a much wider cultural bias.
Begoña Gómez Urzaiz is a freelance journalist living in Barcelona who writes frequently for outlets including La Vanguardia and El País. She teaches literary journalism in the master's program at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.
