DUPREY, Marlene. Misogynistic Configurations: The Violence of Representation and the Construction of the Freak Mother. Rev. interdiscip. estud. género Col. Méx. [online]. 2018, vol.4, e157.  Epub 19-Mar-2018. ISSN 2395-9185.  https://doi.org/10.24201/eg.v4i0.157.

This paper elaborated on the relation that exists between the transformations in the new reproductive technologies with the activation of new misogynist practices in the manufacture of monstrous maternity. My reflection will focus on the media representation of Nadya Suleman, an American woman who was the focus of attention of a media employment to undergo artificial insemination treatment from which she conceived eight children after being the mother of another six children conceived by the same type of insemination process. Thereafter it was known as the Octomom, and represented as a monstrous woman, as a freak.

Palavras-chave : misogyny; reproductive technologies; monster theory; Nadya Suleman, media representation.
