This paper discusses the experience of motherhood from a feminist perspective drawing evidence from my personal experience as a mother, a contemporary feminist, and a migrant (immigrant) woman, as well as from the view of a current study on childbearing and childrearing among Thai immigrant mothers in Australia. The paper presents the challenge of motherhood from an immigrant mother's perspective. It is argued that immigrant mothers are twice a minority and hence twice marginalized when placing their situations within Australian society. Women's personal narrative has implications for social work practice. Many migrant mothers would possibly benefit from a social service intervention that attempts to reduce their marginality in Australian society.
