Placing babies' lives at the center of her narrative, historian
Janet Golden analyzes the dramatic transformations in the lives of
American babies during the twentieth century. She examines how
babies shaped American society and culture and led their families
into the modern world to become more accepting of scientific
medicine, active consumers, open to new theories of human
psychological development, and welcoming of government advice and
programs. Importantly Golden also connects the reduction in infant
mortality to the increasing privatization of American lives. She
also examines the influence of cultural traditions and religious
practices upon the diversity of infant lives, exploring the ways
class, race, region, gender, and community shaped life in the
nursery and household.
