In Mass Hysteria, Rebecca Kukla examines the present-day medical
and cultural practices surrounding pregnancy, new motherhood, and
infant feeding. In the late-eighteenth century, the configuration
of the maternal body underwent a radical transformation and the two
maternal bodies that emerged out of this transformation still
govern our imagination and rituals surrounding pregnancy and
lactation. Exploring the history and the current life of these two
maternal bodies within medical institutions, popular culture, and
politics, Kukla offers a critical assessment of the lived
repercussions of these ideological figures and practices for
contemporary women's and infants' health and well-being.
