Well, if women stopped having babies for the sake of other goals, humanity would come to a sad end, so arguably the most important thing a woman can do is indeed to have a baby.

We need people to all sorts of things because if no-one did them it would be disastrous. That doesn't make them the most important thing a person can do.
-
What sort of other thing rises to same level as the preservation of life? I don't get why this is considered disrespectful at all. Women can actually create new human life. Isn't that the most amazing and important thing anyone could do?
-
Farmers also preserve life and so do sewage workers. They're not the most important things to do. That varies from individual to individual. As long as people are doing them, the human race will thrive.
-
No, humans could live with robot-farmers and among sewage. In fact, mechanized agriculture is already the norm in developed countries. Very few farmers needed. While in the 3rd world, many do live w/o sewage workers. Nobody could live, quite literally, without women having babies
-
We could live when technology can incubate babies too. Most women who have babies also do other important things. Women who don't have babies do too.
-
And as my friend pointed out, India is overpopulated. If some women decide not to have babies and focus on other important things, this would be a good thing.
-
One baby per woman would be enough to curtail population overgrowth. We can say having one baby is the most important thing. Subsequent babies are diminishing returns.

The rituals around death and dead people are usually to make the survivors feel better as I recall.
-
Not here. It was a class for how to treat dead bodies to make them feel better about being dead. Religious thing.

Similar to ancient Egypt and the pharaohs?

No idea.

Is this book implying that a woman's life cycle couldn't be complete if she doesn't give birth? I'm confused
