title: [Womens' view of caregiving. Implications for revisions of the concept].
abstract: The goal of the workshop "Caregiving and Companionship" was to provide women living in Porto Alegre with an opportunity to participate in a caregiving activity in which they could exchange ideas, get to know and talk about the meaning of the word caregiving as perceived both in an artistic and/or a scientific realm. Testimonies collected from a group of 60, shed light on the concept of the word. New directions, news dimensions were added to the meaning of maternity--which for women represents caregiving in its fullest and most well-know sense. The workshop gave them a chance to reshape concepts, discover new potentials and share growth on a me to you basis, as a part of their daily endeavors.
