Inventing Maternity by Susan C. Greenfield & Carol Barash
Politics, Science and Literature, 1650-1865
Women's social purposes began to be narrowly defined in terms of the bearing, nurturing, and educating of children between 1650 and 1865. The eleven contributors to Inventing Maternity survey a wide range of sources including medical texts, religious doctrine, poems, and slave narratives to examine the political, scientific, and literary uses of maternity during and shortly after the long eighteenth century. These essays reveal that maternity remained contested terrain despite its association with an increasingly standardized set of values. They also provide historical context for issues -- including reproductive rights and child custody -- that remain unresolved today. |
