Abstract	"To publish or parent?" should never be the question. The disjunctive conjunction "or" indicates that propositions of being a mother and professor cannot coexist. Despite the change over time in women's receipt of PhDs and academia's gender profile, society continues to perpetuate gendered norms of productivity and the mythical notion of work-life balance--both of which endlessly complicate the conceptualization and operationalization of the female academic's success. Amplifying the voices of other mother scholars' oral histories and weaving them with reflections of personal journeys, this study posits a reflective checklist that prompts female academics to make choices, give priority and engage in both worlds to the best of their ability with their own concepts and measures of success. Women cannot give in to this concept of two separate worlds, which splinters the self. We are not mothers and scholars, we are MotherScholars. It is important for women in academia to claim our entire personhood, professional and parent, if we are to seek freedom from feeling "torn" between these spheres.
