Description

This Giving Birth: Pregnancy and Childbirth in American Women's Writing explores the evolution of maternity literature in America over three centuries. The collection examines how women writers have struggled to reclaim the birthing process, transforming themselves from objects into maternal subjects.

Through essays that delve into the works of diverse authors such as Anne Bradstreet, Sharon Olds, Kate Chopin, Toni Morrison, and Louise Erdrich, this anthology reveals the voices and experiences of mothers who have long been devalued by patriarchal culture. Their stories are presented in a powerful and thought-provoking way.
