"I Am the 'Other' in 'Mother'"

Kristina Kasparian’s writing on surrogacy is beautiful, insightful and heartbreaking.

If you have time to read only one thing today, read this:

“I Am the ‘Other’ in ‘Mother’.” Electric Literature. 2024.

Obviously, I think you should read these next two as well:

“Center of Gravity.” The Rumpus. 2025.

“Surrogacy Changed Our Marriage.” SELF. 2026.
