The historical construction of motherhood in Honduras from 1927-1948 embodies the discourse that motherhood is shaped by control devices that regulate women's lives towards the maternal function. This process is consolidated through discursive practices mediated by social institutions such as the patriarchal family and other subjectivities that maintain the cis-heteropatriarchal regime. It is solidified by devices that exercise control over female bodies and perpetuate motherhood as an institutional norm, including religion, the health system and national security to control bodies. The main sources of analysis for this research include the Revista Celajes of Catholic religious orientation, the Police Magazine, magazines produced by women, the Boletim Sanitária and other newspapers of the time. This study is framed within feminist theory, adopting an intersectional perspective, which problematizes different categories of analysis, such as class, race, sexuality and gender. The methodology used is based on discourse analysis as a tool to understand power relations. The research chronology ranges from 1927, the year in which Mother's Day was established in Honduras, to 1948, the year in which the dictatorship of Tiburcio Carias Andino ended, who ruled the country for 16 years, from 1933 to 1948. During this period , coercive and social control measures were implemented that restricted women's autonomy, influencing their ideas and actions, and subjecting them to the rule of dictatorship.
