Cosslett offers detailed readings of literary and medical birth stories to reveal deeply embedded assumptions about how Western society views women, and how women view themselves. She examines current debates about natural childbirth as advocated by Sheila Kitzinger and Grantly Dick Read, and analyzes key literary works by writers such as Doris Lessing, Margaret Atwood, and Toni Morrison. Of interest to womens' studies students, lay readers, and childbirth professionals. Distributed by St. Martin's. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
