Reimagining the Family is the first book-length study of
representations of lesbian mothering in French literature. Focusing
on female-authored texts published between 1970 and 2013, the book
explores how literature reflects, engages with and even anticipates
the recent, highly charged debates on the rights of same-sex
couples and parents in France. Centred around the notion of
"reimagining", the book examines how literature interrogates the
normative definition of the family as a heterosexual, biological
unit. It discusses a range of themes, including the difficulty of
reconciling lesbianism with mothering, the role of the father, the
identity of the co-mother and issues of difference and equality.
The corpus includes both well-known and previously unstudied
authors, and covers a range of genres, from autobiography to
popular fiction. Collectively, the texts offer privileged insights
into the increasingly relevant experiences of lesbian mothers and
illustrate the changing face of the family in twenty-first-century
France.
