Prehistoric archeologist, Dr. Katharina Rebay-Salisbury, talks about her research on motherhood in prehistory and about our romanticized idea of giving birth in the old times; how our bodies have changed through evolution; the history of birth complications and c-sections; and the identity change when becoming a mother. Katharina shares her Austrian mom Monika's lessons on juggling work and family; creating strong family ties; love of learning and travelling; but also struggling with not having time for friendships or relaxing. She also talks about how we, as senior women, must make the fusion of work and motherhood easier for the new generations.
