A Survey of Maternal Instinct Based On The Theories Of Simone De Beauvoir

The main purpose of the present research was to investigate «Simone de Beauvior’s» (1949) point of view on «maternal love». This study investigated the various ideologies on «maternal instinct» with regard to the important and principal role of women within the society during their lifetimes, which considered the childbirth and motherhood. «Simone de Beauvior» (1949) considered motherhood as a form of female slavery and asked them to avoid marriage and childbirth to end the patriarchal culture. This was whilst many philosophers considered motherhood a privilege, which coud not be achieved by men. The method used in this research was a descriptive-analytical, with the implementation of library tools. The findings based on the analysis of evidence and data indicated that despite a lack of enthusiasm shown by modern western women for married life and motherhood, there were many amongst them who tried to conjoin motherhood with progress and freedom. They believed that by creating a balance between the societies’ working condition and that of the pregnant women and mothers, they could be helped to attain scientific, educational, economical and political progress.
