Contemporary maternity in an era of choice

About this book

Employing a variety of feminist communication approaches, the volume's contributors discuss how discourses of choice shape and are shaped by women's identities and experiences as (non)mothers and how those same discourses affect and reflect private practices and public policies related to reproduction and motherhood. This book is unique because it investigates discourses of choice across the arc of maternity and as enacted through various (non)maternal subject positions.
