Black womans body as a site of new beginnings

  Throughout the novel Corregidora  the author refers to the womb as the start or the beginning, Ursa even refers to it as her birthmark. Ursa resents her husband and the doctor for taking away her ability to make generations which her mother and grandmother always told her was most important thing she could do to carry on their story. I found the novel to be very interesting because it brought up ideas like what makes you a woman? Is Ursa less of a woman because she is baron?
