Abstract: »Throughout the Modern Age, a female gender model was imposed in Western society in which women reached their full potential through married motherhood. Starting from this premise, in this article we propose to know the vital experience of all those women who, due to neglect or absence of their lovers, were forced to face motherhood alone. For this we have used assistance and criminal documentation dated throughout the 16th-18th centuries that tells us about rapes, abortions, infanticides, abandonments and adoptions. In any case, a multifaceted reality that has not received enough attention because it does not respond to the ideal family model: Christian, orderly and hierarchical, in which the man took care of the financial support and the woman the care.« (Source: Studia Historica: Historia Moderna)
