"Nearly 20% of all pregnancies in the U.S. end in miscarriage
or stillbirth. Yet pregnancy loss is seldom acknowledged and rarely
discussed. Opening the topic to a thoughtful and informed discussion,
Linda Layne takes a historical look at pregnancy loss in America,
reproductive technologies and the cultural responses surrounding
miscarriage. Examining both support groups and the rituals they
create to help couples through loss, her analysis offers valuable
insight on how material culture contributes to conceptions of
personhood. A fascinating examination, Motherhood Lost is also
a provocative challenge to feminists and other activists to increase
awareness and provide necessary support for this often hidden
but critically important topic." Amazon.com
