Like a Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy by Angela Garbes

hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

Not a book youd look to for guides or tips or information of that sort. It’s sort of an overview & overall look into pregnancy and the beginning of motherhood. it’s a pretty therapeutic read. and it’s very personal and open. i sort of had a problem with how they described that a female body is meant for baby making. maybe theyre right, scientifically… but i dont know how it could feel for people who have recurrent miscarriages or other things inhibiting them from being made to to carry fetuses… however, that tension i felt was eased when she later included an inclusive (and feminist)  statement about women who cant give birth or female bodies who do not believe the same. 
anyhow, good read. would recommend.
