Book Description

Publication Date: Nov 17 1992

Childbearing is more than pregnancy and labor. It is the having and not having of children. It is a profound event in the lives of families-and in the lives and bodies of women. The feminist movement and the development of feminist studies have helped to rehumanize the subject of childbearing by removing it from the remote environment of institutionalized medicine. The multi-disciplinary Encyclopedia of Childbearing is a major contribution to this new accessibility.

Review

?This fine encyclopedia examines childbearing from nontechnical perspectives: social, political, psychological, artistic, etc....Rothman, a respected sociologist and author of several important books on pregnancy and motherhood, rejoices in the diversity of material....the book is handsomely printed on permanent paper, with a few black and white photographs and drawings. Highly recommended.?-CHOICE

First Sentence
In deriving grounds for ethical decision making, feminists locate themselves along different points of a continuum between two poles variously labeled self-determination and nurturance, particularity and solidarity, or interest and beneficence. Read the first page
