Originally published in 1990, this book met the rising interest
in the subject of women in pre-industrial England, bringing
together a group of scholars with diverse and wide-ranging
interests; experts in social and medical history, demography, women
s studies, and the history of the family, whose work would not
normally appear in one volume.
Key aspects of motherhood in pre-industrial society are
discussed, including women s concepts of maternity, the experience
of pregnancy, childbirth, and wet nursing, the fostering and
disciplining of children, and child abandonment and neglect. This
unique book provides a comprehensive introductory overview of its
subject, with emphasis on women s experiences and motives.
