This book studies the growing number of lesbian women embarking on parenthood after coming out. Theoretical debates about lesbian motherhood often consider its assimilative or transgressive dimensions. The author proposes a different approach, contextualising lesbian motherhood in relation to sexual citizenship and hegemonic discourses of kinship.
