Lesbian mothers in contemporary Italy

The goal of my research on the subject of lesbian motherhood (Daniela Danna, "Io ho una bella figlia..." Le madri lesbiche raccontano, Zoe, Milano 1998) was to explore the ideology and the reality of a phenomenon that in contemporary Italy is still considered as a paradox. This paper is therefore based on a double approach: 1) field research carried out in 1996 involving contact with 52 women who had had children and had relationships with other women, whether they identify themselves as lesbians or described themselves using other words and concepts; 2) a review of the public debate about lesbian mothers, fuelled in the press by reports that examined two women couples that used medically assisted insemination to become pregnant in 1988 and 1994, by the European Parliament's Resolution of 1994 asking member states to permit adoption by homosexuals and the parliamentary debate about the proposals of law regulating new reproductive technologies.
