Se trata de una compilación de ensayos e ilustraciones en torno al ejercicio de maternidades subversivas. Escrito desde la suma y la diversidad de expresiones, el libro plantea la maternidad como una experiencia y un descubrimiento propios, una construcción única pero a la vez colectiva, que en este momento generacional se está reinventando, rehaciendo o redescubriendo bajo paradigmas muy particulares y diferentes: de edad, de práctica, de identidad, de feminismo, de familia, de contexto, de futuro, de pasado, de modelo: se transforma desde la práctica y la idea.

Karl Kraus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Aphoristiker deutscher Sprache. Ob berühmte Schriftsteller oder die Presse - nichts und niemand wurde von der gnadenlosen Kritik seiner Feder verschont.
