@article { , title = {Feminist perspectives on lesbian parenting: a review of the literature 1972-2002}, abstract = {This paper reviews the feminist literature on lesbian parenting published between 1972 and 2002. The paper provides a conventional survey of the themes and topics that inform the literature, as well as exploring – from a lesbian feminist perspective - what the literature reveals about the social/political history of lesbian parenting. Central themes include child custody and the politics of parenting as a lesbian: whether it constitutes a radical rebellion against patriarchy or a retrograde collusion with compulsory motherhood. The paper concludes by exploring how lesbian feminist writing on parenting has prioritised politics.}, issn = {1466-3724}, issue = {2}, journal = {Psychology of Women Section Review}, pages = {11-23}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {British Psychological Society}, url = {https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/1054385}, volume = {7}, keyword = {Social Science Research Group, Centre for Appearance Research, Formerly Health & Social Sciences, lesbian parenting}, year = {2005}, author = {Clarke, Victoria} }
