There are themes of birth trauma. The author explores the way the medical community, especially those with the "good old boy" mindset, violates and exploits women during labor and childbirth, when they are highly vulnerable and not always of sound mind. Procedures are done in the book without informed consent and this is told in such a way that it mirrors rape.
