Stepmother's Day is the subject of an opinion piece written by Maria Giulia Pinheiro. The text addresses the date of tribute to stepmothers, who chose to care for children who are not their biological daughters.

The author seeks to raise awareness among readers who still consider the term "stepmother" as pejorative. The goal of the piece is that the tribute does not cause offense to those who maintain this negative view of the stepmother's role.

Maria Giulia Pinheiro presents a perspective that values the act of care exercised by stepmothers, framing it as a meritorious choice of attention and dedication. The article is an opinion piece intended to reformulate the social perception of this family role.
