Queering Motherhood: Narrative and Theoretical Perspectives

About this book

Challenging traditional notions of motherhood through queer perspectives. This collection of essays offers a groundbreaking exploration of motherhood through the lens of queer theory, feminist thought, and lived experiences. It challenges conventional assumptions about gender, sexuality, and family, offering fresh insights into reproduction, parenting, and community.

Edited by Margaret F. Gibson, this volume brings together emerging and established voices to examine topics such as:

  • LGBTQ+ parenting and family dynamics
  • The intersection of queer identity and disability
  • The politics of maternal eroticism
  • Activism and social change in queer families

For academics, students, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of queer family structures, this collection provides a thought-provoking and empowering perspective on motherhood and its many possibilities. It is an insightful resource for those interested in sociology, gender studies, and LGBTQ+ issues.
