Maternity in the Post-Apocalypse: Novelistic Revisions of Dystopian
Motherhood deconstructs the ways in which women novelists have
reconceived the post-apocalyptic genre in recent decades through
narratives centered on heroic maternal characters. These writers
have placed midwives, pregnant women, and mothers at the forefront
of their novels, transforming them from the hapless victims of male
oppressors to protagonists who are instrumental in transforming the
post-apocalyptic social landscape from one that attempts to
reconstruct a patriarchal past to one that safeguards, validates,
and even lauds maternity as a form of empowerment. In a novelistic
future devastated landscape in which human civilizations are
shattered and waver at the brink of extinction, women who embody
facets of maternity are taking the reins of rebuilding human
societies by overturning patriarchal assumptions of femininity,
reclaiming intersectional autonomy, and (re)visioning the
possibilities for a declining anthropocene.
