  • Title: Becoming lesbian mothers.
    Author: Hequembourg AL.
    Journal: J Homosex; 2007; 53(3):153-80. PubMed ID: 18032291.
    Abstract:
    Lesbian mothering strategies are commonly theorized as instances of assimilationism or resistance. This essay critiques those approaches and presents a promising alternative using the conceptual framework of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. Their concepts of "becoming" and "rhizoming" are utilized as mechanisms for understanding the inconsistencies and contradictions that constitute the subjectivities of two lesbian co-mothers. The essay concludes with the political implications of these analyses.
