{"product_id":"confinements-helena-michie-9780813524337","title":"Confinements: Fertility and Infertility in Contemporary Culture","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen a woman in the United States becomes pregnant or tries to become pregnant, she enters a world of information, technology, and expertise. Suddenly her body becomes public in a new way: medicine, law, and popular culture all offer her sometimes contradictory \"expert\" advice. Confinements explores the advice offered to pregnant and infertile women by examining assumptions about femininity, class, and the reproductive body that structure the language of expertise. Even advice books written from a specifically countercultural or feminist point of view often attempt to police the way women think about their bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfinements argues that our perceptions about both pregnancy and infertility are limited by our culture's battles over the meaning of choice and control, arguments over what is natural or unnatural, and the troubled relationship between reproduction and the domestic sphere. The book breaks new ground in its analysis of gender, health, and reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helena Michie,Naomi Cahn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813524334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813524337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.03h x 6.05w x 0.60d","brand":"Helena Michie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438017229055,"sku":"9780813524337","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e03a4ad-de68-4b43-a30a-1782812ca924.jpg?v=1777168235","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/confinements-helena-michie-9780813524337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
