This paper analyses a sample survey of specific Indian mothers’ blogs from 2000 to 2025. It investigates how mothers use the affordances of blogging to negotiate “motherhood” as a patriarchal institution, to navigate “mothering” as a demanding yet fulfilling experience and also, often, to conform to models of neo-liberal feminism. The paper also situates these digital narratives in the larger discourse of contemporary Indian maternity. –Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/26-27/review-gender-studies/articulating-maternal.html Economic & Political Weekly AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 409151 IIPA IIPA 2026-07-24 61(26-27 Supple), Jun 27, Jul 4, 2026: p.37-43 AR139406 2026-07-24 AR
