The Fantasy of Maternal Autonomy and the Disabled Mother

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

What does it mean to choose to become a mother who cannot parent independently? What is it like to grapple with motherhood when one has a disability, in a culture which increasingly valorises maternal autonomy and choice? In this brief essay, I want to emphasise some of the ways in which maternal scholarship has helped me to navigate and make sense of my lived experience of disabled motherhood.
