Overview
Writing with a rare blend of insight, warmth, and clarity, Alice E. Adams changes the way we think about childbirth. Although in the practice of medicine and psychology--and in many works of literature--mothers have often been regarded as mere environments for fetuses, Adams opens up a full range of thinking about motherhood. From women's fiction, feminist theory, medical, psychoanalytic, and political writings, and her own experiences as a daughter and a mother, she crafts a subtle new response to the controversies surrounding reproductive freedom and the implications of medical technology.Book Details
