Women who came of age in the late twentieth century were raised in
the era of choice; they grew up believing that reproductive
decision-making is a political right, a responsibility of women
living the successes of second wave feminism, and under their
control. Contemplating Maternity in an Era of Choice: Explorations
into Discourses of Reproduction explores contemporary maternity
both within and in light of these late-twentieth century
understandings. Employing a variety of feminist communication
approaches, the volume's contributors discuss how discourses of
choice shape and are shaped by women's identities and experiences
as (non)mothers and how those same discourses affect and reflect
private practices and public policies related to reproduction and
motherhood. Through this process, the contributors illustrate a
variety of ways of conducting feminist thinking, research, and
practices within the communication discipline. Major
sub-disciplines within communication studies are represented here
including feminist organizational, interpersonal, rhetorical,
critical/cultural, and social movement studies. Whereas many of the
previous scholarly investigations into maternity highlight only one
aspect or phase of motherhood, Contemplating Maternity in an Era of
Choice is unique because it investigates discourses of choice
across the arc of maternity and as enacted through various
(non)maternal subject positions.
