By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: This Giving Birth: Pregnancy and Childbirth in American Women's Writing (Paperback)
This Giving Birth: Pregnancy And Childbirth In American Women's Writing offers an engaging and informative series of essays on the central place pregnancy and childbirth hold in American's women's writing. Surveying three centuries of prose and poetry, This Giving Birth traces the evolution of American maternity literature, exploring the difficulties mothers faced as they struggled to transform themselves from objects into maternal subjects. This Giving Birth showcases the writings of women as diverse as Anne Bradstreet, Anne Sexton, and Sharon Olds, to Kate Chopin, Tony Morrison, and Louise Erdich. Blending the canonical with the contemporary, This Giving Birth is a literary celebration and a highly recommended addition to students of American literature, and women's studies reading lists.
