New narrative forms, ranging from blogs to diaries to comics, expressed women's experiences, including ambivalence about motherhood in the face of societal pressures. \u003ci\u003eNarrating Infertility in Spain, \u003c\/i\u003ethe first study of infertility in post-2008 female-authored texts, analyzes discussions of adoption, assisted reproduction, egg and sperm donation, and the decision not to have children due to economic or social instability. By examining the work of writers and vocal activists Silvia Nanclares, Raquel Sánchez-Silva, Samantha Villar, Laura Freixas, and Diana López Varela, Bourland Ross situates infertility in Spain within the cultural context of the Great Recession, while considering it as a business, a crisis, a stigma, and a class issue, and offering broader understandings of contemporary fertility challenges in Spain and beyond. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by Bucknell University Press.
