Abstract	The challenge of mothering while pursuing an academic career is the most significant obstacle to women's success. However, there is a lack of research examining how being a woman who intensively mothers co-exist with her autonomous subjectivity as an academic. In this qualitative study, academic mothers adhere both to an intensive mothering ideology and the ideal worker construct reified in neo-liberalised academic culture. We argue that these women negotiate the co-existence of these subjectivities from within a 'new' maternal subjectivity. These academic women are not victims of the patriarchal norms of the academy or the ideological constraints of intensive mothering. Instead, they actively negotiate institutional and ideological constraints in a way that incorporates their autonomous subjectivity and their maternal subjectivity. (As Provided).
