'An exhilarating, genre-defying read' Observer, 'Beautiful' Elif
Shafak, 'Absolutely sensational' Michael Cashman, CBE, 'Powerful
and compelling' New Statesman', 'Brilliant' Caitlin Moran In a
world where women have more choices than ever, society nevertheless
continues to exert the stigma and pressures of less enlightened
times when it comes to having children. We define women by whether
they embrace or reject motherhood; whether they can give birth or
not. Behavioural Scientist Pragya Agarwal uses her own varied
experiences and choices as a woman of South Asian heritage to
examine the broader societal, historical and scientific factors
that drive how we think and talk about motherhood. She looks at how
women's bodies have been monitored and controlled through history,
and how this shapes the political constructs of motherhood and
womanhood now. Extremely open in its honesty and meticulously
researched, (M)otherhood probes themes of infertility, childbirth
and reproductive justice, and makes a powerful and urgent argument
for the need to tackle society's obsession with women's bodies and
fertility.
