The Jewish Woman – Part 3: From the Rebbe's Address in 1984 (5745)
Torah establishes that a child’s People is traced through the mother – who carries and nourishes the growing baby, and who devotedly struggles through the pains of pregnancy, labor and childbirth.
There are those who wish to steal the child from its mother, by “voting” that a child can belong to the father’s People instead. All women should object to such a possibility.

women rolees I appreciate this talk by the Rebbe. Thank you for leading us in the ways of the Torah. Reply
Women's Roles The words of this Rebbe encouraged me to press on in teaching the younger women to be obedient to Torah, as this is where our source of greatest enrichment lies, in the meditation and obeying of His Mitzvos. Raising seven children has been a great joy to me and I do not hesitate encouraging younger women to find their deepest needs met in YHWH and His gift of a husband and children to their lives.
