ABSTRACT
Generativity and creativity: generativity which becomes creative, and creativity which can be generative. Women, though, and regardless of their ability to procreate, have always claimed a creativity which has nothing to do with reproduction. Many of them, whether or not they have experienced childbirth, have expressed creative talent, producing both literary and pictorial works of art, and participating in projects or in battles which enhance their ability to formulate and achieve the most varied objectives. Children, like books, are journeys inside themselves, in which female bodies, female minds and female souls change direction, and move towards the centre of existence. The obstetrician founder of one of the first homely maternity centres in Pithiviers writes: Traditional maternity wards are more and more regulated by a series of rules imposed by the medical directors to impose precise orders on working methods in order to respond to any situation.
