Constructing the (M)other is a collection of personal narratives about motherhood in the context of a society in which disability holds a stigmatized position.

From multiple vantage points, these autoethnographies reveal how ableist beliefs about disability are institutionally upheld and reified.

Collectively they seek to call attention to a patriarchal surveillance of mothering, challenge the trope of the good mother, and dismantle the constructed hierarchy of acceptable children.
