Description

In an unusual combination of reflection, autobiography, theory and criticism, Cristina Mazzoni looks at childbirth and early maternity from the perspective of an academic mother with three young children.

First Sentence

"Recovering mothers' voices in the rites of passage of pregnancy and childbirth is a formidable task at best, and at worst, a hazardous, volatile venture" (Miller-McLemore, 138).
