This project was funded in part by a CSWS grant.

The authors received substantial funding from CSWS for the 2009 “Philosophical Inquiry into Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Mothering Conference" that inspired this volume.

A “superlative collection of essays that…takes seriously the philosophical significance of women’s lived experience. Every woman, regardless of her own reproductive story, is touched by the often restrictive beliefs and norms governing discourses about pregnancy, childbirth and mothering. Thus the concerns of this anthology are relevant to all women and central to any philosophical project that takes women’s lives seriously.”
