Current debates about birth control can be surprisingly volatile,
especially given the near-universal use of contraception among
American and British women. Conceived in Modernism: The Aesthetics
and Politics of Birth Control offers a new perspective on these
debates by demonstrating that the political positions surrounding
birth control have roots in literary concerns, specifically those
of modernist writers. Whereas most scholarship treats modernism and
birth control activism as parallel, but ultimately separate,
movements, Conceived in Modernism shows that they were deeply
intertwined. This book argues not only that literary concerns
exerted a lasting influence on the way activists framed the
emerging politics of contraception, but that birth control activism
helped shape some of modernism's most innovative concepts. By
revealing the presence of literary aesthetics in the discourse
surrounding birth control, Conceived in Modernism helps us see this
discourse as a variable facet rather than a permanent bulwark of
reproductive rights debates.
