From a pathologizing perspective of the biomedical approach, women with disabilities do not fit into an ideal of femininity and are generally perceived as inappropriate to assume the role of mothers as they do not fit into the imaginary of a “normal“ body. However, despite the different barriers and value judgments present in the exercise of sexuality and maternity in women with disabilities, the exercise of maternity is also constituted as a form of resistance to what is conceived as normal or ideal. This thesis analyzes the narratives around maternity in women with visual disabilities between the ages of 25 and 50 from middle and low-income backgrounds in Peru. This qualitative research has collected eight life stories of women located in Lima, Callao and Huancayo, where the various forms of oppression and resistance are analyzed from the experience of having visual disability, being a woman and being mothers. In this sense, it explores how women with visual disabilities were linked to various discourses and experiences of maternity and femininity from their relationship with their mothers, fathers, other maternal figures and their relatives in general. Secondly, it analyzes how women build their narratives around female identity and maternity from sexual and affective ties, and experiences of gender violence. Third, the narratives around motherhood and femininity is explored from various practices and experiences that are part of what they understand as motherhood such as parenting, gestating, giving birth, caring for their children. and other people, among others. Finally, the meanings around maternity that the interviewed women handle, the relationship between being a woman and being a mother and the differences that they identify between women and mothers with visual disabilities and women and mothers who do not have disabilities were explored.
