For many (if not most) people, the term 'mother' feels deeply gendered and carries with it the weight of expectations. However, the queer community has long played with the meaning of 'mother,' from the mothers of ballroom culture to queer family-making to the intersection of mothering and trans parenthood. Mother is, after all, an identity like any other and as such it can be stretched, played with, inverted, and examined.

Memoirs that make you sit and think for an hour, a day, a week or maybe forever.
