Cependant, toutes les femmes n'ont pas acc\u00e8s \u00e0 cette maternit\u00e9. Dans cet article, j'explore la communaut\u00e9 des personnes infertiles en ligne, dans lesquelles les femmes traient de leur exclusion et expriment leur incr\u00e9dulit\u00e9 face \u00e0 la perspective d'avoir un enfant biologique. Les femmes consid\u00e8rent leur infertilit\u00e9 comme une injustice, ce qui les m\u00e8ne \u00e0 revendiquer cette maternit\u00e9. Je soutiens que la fa\u00e7on dont les femmes revendiquent la maternit\u00e9 change notre compr\u00e9hension de la maternit\u00e9 comme norme du genre f\u00e9minin.

However, not all women have access to motherhood. In this paper, I explore the online infertility community wherein women blog to process their exclusion, expressing incredulity about the prospect of never having a biological child of their own. Women understand their infertility as an injustice, leading them to lay claim to motherhood. I argue that how women lay claim to motherhood changes our understanding of motherhood as a gendered norm. Motherhood is <jats:italic>more than a pursuit of a gender identity<\/jats:italic>; it is also a gendered <jats:italic>entitlement<\/jats:italic>. This research pushes analytic conceptualizations of motherhood forward, while also empirically enriching our knowledge about women's homosociality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/cars.12093","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,18]],"date-time":"2016-02-18T22:25:14Z","timestamp":1455834314000},"page":"94-122","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Motherhood as a Gendered Entitlement: Intentionality, \u201cOthering,\u201d and Homosociality in the Online Infertility Community"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Krista","family":"Whitehead","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mount Royal University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/089124301015005004"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","first-page":"1948","volume-title":"Mothering: Ideology, Experience and Agency","author":"Boris E.","year":"1994"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","first-page":"81","volume-title":"Qualitative Psychology: A Practical Guide to Research Methods","author":"Charmaz K.","year":"2008"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","unstructured":"Cherlin A.2009.The Marriage\u2010Go\u2010Round: The State of Marriage and the Family in America Today.New York: NY:Vintage."},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1525\/9780520924086"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0891243211427700"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1755-618X.2006.tb00856.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/soc4.12043"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","volume-title":"The Second Sex","author":"Beauvoir S.","year":"1949"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","volume-title":"Do Men Mother?
