What is the meaning of maternal power?

 The term "maternal power" generally refers to the power and influence that a mother has over her children. This power can take many forms, such as the emotional bond between a mother and her children, the practical care that a mother provides for her children, or the cultural and social norms that shape a mother's role in her children's lives. Maternal power can be both positive and negative, as a mother's love and care for her children can also involve discipline and setting boundaries. Additionally, the concept of maternal power can also be extended to include the broader societal and cultural influences that shape the experiences of mothers and their children.
