In a January 2022 Instagram post, comedian and writer Ilana Glazer sits perched on the edge of a bathtub, gazing at her open laptop. Below her sits a breast pump with tubes and attachments, behind her a half-eaten meal. She writes, “sometimes a writing session happens while pumpin and eatin in the bathroom.” This analysis examines how posts like Glazer’s use wit and humor to narrativize complex and varied experiences of maternity and mothering, and to navigate, respond to, and rewrite mythic notions of motherhood that have tended to code the maternal body as white, Christian, heteronormative and economically secure. Women comics and comedy writers Ilana Glazer, Tig Notaro, and Kristen Bell as well as amateur comics and ordinary users work to resist idealized perceptions of mothering as natural, effortless, and innate by making the messy corporality and hidden labor of motherhood visible and emphasizing the discordance between these narrow cultural constructions and the reality of mothering and maternal bodies as far more varied, dynamic, and multifaceted than traditional notions allow.
