Coming to Life Philosophies of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Mothering  /
Lundquist, Caroline R.
LaChance Adams, Sarah.
The volume's contributors engage in sustained reflection on women's experiences and on the beliefs, customs, and political institutions by which they are informed. They think beyond the traditional pro-choice/pro-life dichotomy, speak to the manifold nature of mothering by considering the experiences of adoptive mothers and birthmothers, and upend the belief that childrearing practices must be uniform, despite psychosexual differences in children.
