This study explores the evolving perceptions of motherhood among working women in Istanbul's IT sector. Historically, motherhood has been idealized as an obligatory and fulfilling role for women, deeply rooted in cultural and religious norms. However, modern perspectives are shifting towards a more individualistic view that values personal choice and freedom. The research involved 380 respondents, focusing on their attitudes towards motherhood, including concepts such as mandatory motherhood, biological child preference, surrogacy, voluntary childlessness, and contraceptive use. The findings reveal a significant departure from traditional views, with most women rejecting the notion of mandatory motherhood and supporting diverse family structures. Despite this shift, societal expectations and internalized norms still influence many women's feelings about contraception and their roles as mothers. The study highlights the importance of education, cultural sensitivity, and supportive policies in addressing these issues. By understanding and supporting the diverse experiences of motherhood, society can foster a more inclusive environment that respects and values all forms of family life
