SUMMARY This article is about butches who get pregnant and become mothers. It suggests that butch motherhood might widen the range of both maternal and butch subjectivities by linking a queer masculinity and sexuality to the attachments of the female body. A butch confrontation with the stigma that comes with the territory of femininity may also draw her in new ways to feminist struggles to provide social supports to those who mother.
