Open access.

This open access edited volume focuses on the representations, perceptions, and experiences of women who do not have children against the backdrop of traditional gender norms, pronatalist policies, and patriarchal structures. While involuntary and voluntary childlessness have typically been treated separately and studied within different disciplines in most previous scholarship, contributing authors explore non-motherhood beyond the involuntary/voluntary divide and consider a wide range of conceptualizations of women who do not become mothers. The editors bring together a variety of perspectives from different national contexts and disciplines, including family studies, gender studies, literary and cultural studies, sociology, and film studies to explore non-motherhood. The book focuses on how women who choose or experience non-motherhood are negotiated, felt, represented, and received. Jenny Björklund is Professor of Gender Studies at Uppsala University. She is the author of Maternal Abandonment and Queer Resistance in Twenty-First Century Swedish Literature (2021) and Lesbianism in Swedish Literature: An Ambiguous Affair (2014), as well as the co-editor of several volumes including New Dimensions of Diversity in Nordic Culture and Society (2016) She has published extensively on motherhood and family in contemporary Swedish literature, gender and sexuality in Nordic literature and film, women and modernism, and literature and embodiment. Dovilė Kuzminskaitė is Associate Professor in the Faculty of Philology at the Institute for Literary, Cultural, and Translation Studies at Vilnius University, Lithuania. Her research interests include contemporary Latin American literature, experimental literature, and identity problems depicted in literary works. Julie Rodgers is Associate Professor of French at Maynooth University, Ireland. Her research focuses on the production and reception of maternal counternarratives and incorporates the study of a wide range of experiences that do not correspond to the normative, patriarchal script of motherhood.
