Kobiety „niestuprocentowe”? Sposoby definiowania kobiecości przez kobiety doświadczające pierwotnych trudności prokreacyjnych „Not fully” a woman? Ways of definining femininity by women experiencing primary procreative problems
This article is an attempt at answering the question of how women experiencing primary procreative problems define femininity. The analysis is based on the chosen fragments of interviews conducted with thirty-seven women experiencing primary procreative problems, realized by us within the research programme “From socially-determined health to social health: ways of coping with procreative problems”. In order to reconstruct the types of femininity represented by women experiencing primary procreative problems, we have analyzed the answers the participants gave to the questions relating to the place of motherhood in their future plans, reasons for making the decision to start trying for a baby, reminiscences of the early period of procreative actions and their ways of approaching the question of what it means to them to be a woman. The analysis of the collected empirical material allowed us to distinguish four types of femininity represented by women experiencing primary procreative problems – a questioned femininity, an incomplete femininity, a despite-it-all femininity and a suspended femininity. Identifying these four types of femininity represented by women experiencing primary procreative problems, allowed us to indicate the various ways in which procreative problems influence the definition of femininity for women experiencing them. However, despite all the identified differences, we can state that in most of the analysed cases, these problems have a negative impact on the way in which women experiencing them answer the question of what it means for them to be a woman.
