CASILDA WROTE LONG AGO, THIS:
The doulas were the Greek servants or slaves who were engaged in the care of the creatures of the ladies of the classes high and have always tried to warn the incongruity of a movement in support of motherhood claiming the name, instead of the 'godmother', typical of the social fabric of societies maternal. Claiming the doula is to vindicate the bondage of the lower castes to upper castes, and the social fabric of slavery has nothing to do with the claim of true motherhood and the social fabric based on maternal love.
Casilda Rodrigañez Bustos
And Mrs. Isabella Polito of Lares, re-marked the term and the role of the doula, as follows (I transcribe that adhere fully to the concepts Isabella, adapted to the current role of "those women" who accompany other women through childbirth and beyond)
I'm not a slave, but I do feel that I, as a doula, the service of something much bigger than me: CREATION the CREATOR GOD WORKS THROUGH ME and through each woman is giving birth to a baby. Moreover, the working woman to another woman is his sister , when the connection of solidarity, empathy, mutual support, the relationship, even between home and the woman who hires, is one of friendship, support, always and when we understand that we are one and the same problem. There is a socio-economic gap does not prevent this dynamic between two women is the approach, not from the hierarchy that places one above another, but from the Communion.
WITH PASSION, THAT IS WITH UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
