MOTHERHOOD: A POCKET PRIMER (PB)

What does it mean to be a mother? At once intimate and immense, motherhood is an experience often reduced to the purely domestic. Yet it is a force that shapes economies, politics, culture and the future itself - whether or not we have children. From the biology of pregnancy and the science of breastfeeding to the politics of care, abortion rights and reproductive justice, this clear, accessible introduction explores the history, myths, pressures and contradictions of motherhood.
