Susie Bright said Bulldaggers are Mommies Too-- and This Author Tells it Like It Is. You're a butch woman, a bulldagger, an outlier, and your maternal instincts are a strong as Betty Crocker. Whaddya do when you want to get pregnant on the double without a lot of heterosexual handwringing and bourgeois p.c. angst?You listen to Karleen Jimenez tell you, that's what! And laugh and cry along with her. This book IS the antidote to all those dreary, by-the-numbers books. "Great book" according to C. Wilson. Surpassed my expectations. I got it for a paper in a class (expecting to skim it for quotes to use) and ended up fully reading it. It was great, I recommend it to anyone.
The book is her confession of desire, humility, and a search for perfection.. Karleen Pendleton Jiménez has known that she was gay since she was three years old, and has wanted to have a baby for almost as long. This candid and humorous memoir follows Karleen's challenges, adventures, successes, failures, humiliations, and triumphs while attempting to fulfill her dream of becoming a mother. But one crucial element was missing in the life of the butch Chicana lesbian-the sperm. Though at times lighthearted, such as when Karleen considers all of the potential options for ferilization-some anonymous, some not-it is a weighty topic, and one that will change her life forever
