Abstract
This article discusses a selection of texts by contemporary Polish feminist female authors who explore the transgressive and queer aspects of pregnancy and motherhood. The analysis, indebted to the observations of Maggie Nelson’s essay The Argonauts (Polish transl. by K. Gucio, Wołowiec 2020), explore the ways in which Martyna Bunda, Izabela Morska, Barbara Klicka and Inga Iwasiów present motherhood as act of transgression and liberation from a reproductive control system. As a rule this type of discourse includes, the article notes, some elements of the illness narrative.
