A candid assessment of the pros and cons of delayed motherhood.
Biology does not bend to feminist ideals and science does not work
miracles. That is the message of this eye-opening discussion of the
consequences of delayed motherhood. Part personal account, part
manifesto, Selvaratnam recounts her emotional journey through
multiple miscarriages after the age of 37. Her doctor told her she
still "had time," but Selvaratnam found little reliable and often
conflicting information about a mature woman's biological ability
(or inability) to conceive.
Beyond her personal story, the author speaks to women in similar
situations around the country, as well as fertility doctors,
adoption counselors, reproductive health professionals,
celebrities, feminists, journalists, and sociologists. Through
in-depth reporting and her own experience, Selvaratnam urges more
widespread education and open discussion about delayed motherhood
in the hope that long-lasting solutions can take effect. The result
is a book full of valuable information that will enable women to
make smarter choices about their reproductive futures and to strike
a more realistic balance between science, society and personal
goals.
