About this ebook
Birth Giver Value explores the high cultural significance of motherhood in agrarian societies, revealing how female fertility was crucial for community survival.
It highlights the intertwining of childbirth with agrarian life's cultural, economic, and spiritual aspects, challenging simplistic views of patriarchal structures by showing how women's reproductive capabilities often afforded them considerable social standing.
For instance, the book examines how agrarian societies elevated motherhood due to the essential role of mothers in ensuring the continuity of traditions and the labor force, demonstrating that this reverence was rooted in the practical realities of agrarian survival.

The book uniquely focuses on motherhood within agrarian societies, moving beyond generalizations to explore how agricultural practices shape perceptions of women.
It unfolds by first introducing the concept of ""birth giver value"" and then presenting case studies from pre-industrial European villages, traditional Asian farming communities, and indigenous American agricultural societies.
By drawing on anthropological sources, including ethnographic studies and historical documents, the book progresses to analyze the implications of birth giver value in contemporary social issues, such as declining birth rates and the changing roles of women.
