Maternalism

Maternalism, also known as Maternal Feminism is a non-quad, proto-feminist ideology which believes that Women should hold an important yet different role from Men, mainly in relationship to motherhood. Her belief that women should act and be treated distinctively from men often puts her at odds with most other Feminist Ideologies

History
Maternalism first appeared in the late 19th century, it primarily arose with the belief that women were uniquely qualified for certain maternalistic jobs outside of the home, such as in medical professions and as teachers.

One could argue that government propaganda and initiatives encouraging women to have more children would be a historical example of maternalism, especially after the expansion of the British Empire after 1870, which coincided with lowering birthrates.

It should be noted that many maternalists both at the birth of the ideology and since then have not identified as feminists, due to following fundamentally different strategies and goals than the feminists of their time.
