The 1990s marked a new era in family formation. Increased access to
donor sperm enabled single women and lesbian couples to create
their families on their own terms, outside the bounds of
heterosexual married relationships. However, emerging "alternative"
families were not without social and political controversy. Women
who chose to have children without male partners faced many
challenges in their quest to have children. Despite current wider
social acceptance of single people and same sex couples becoming
parents, many of these challenges continue. In Romancing the Sperm,
Diane Tober explores the intersections between sperm donation and
the broader social and political environment in which "modern
families" are created and regulated. Through tangible and intimate
stories, this book provides a captivating read for anyone
interested in family and kinship, genetics and eugenics, and how
ever-expanding assisted reproductive technologies continue to
redefine what it means to be human.
