- Collection of essays on cinematic motherhood. This publication explores this widespread cultural fascination with motherhood through analyses of mothers in contemporary U.S. film, including both mainstream and independent cinematic representations. The contributors draw on a variety of critical approaches to consider the spectacle of pregnancy, mother-daughter relationships, mothers as predators, narcissists, and absent victims, and the ways in which cultural anxieties are displaced and projected onto marginalized mothers in films such as 'Fargo', 'Transamerica', 'Gas, Food, Lodging', 'Ordinary People', and Scream.

In deel 1 van dit artikel wordt ingegaan op pogingen door de overheid om het gedrag van vrouwen tijdens de zwangerschap te reguleren en wordt een overzicht gegeven van de verschillende standpunten met betrekking tot de vraag hoe legitiem een dergelijke inmenging is. In deel 2 wordt nagegaan welk model van de moeder-vrucht-relatie in de jurisprudentie wordt weerspiegeld. Geponeerd wordt dat door het model van conflicterende rechten, waarin de vrucht als 'derde' wordt aangemerkt, de ontwikkeling van effectieve beleidsalternatieven ernstig is ondermijnd. In deel 3 worden suggesties gedaan om het discours uit te breiden naar erkenning van de specifieke positie van de vrouw tijdens de zwangerschap en wordt nagegaan welke beleidsalternatieven consistent zijn met die erkenning.

- Description
- Naar aanleiding van internationale vrouwendag op acht maart 2007 een aantal artikelen over de positie van vrouwen. Staatssecretaris van Defensie Cees van der Knaap vertelt onder andere over vrouwen in de krijgsmacht. China, het land dat het wereldleiderschap verkiest, kent traditioneel een zeer vrouwvijandige mentaliteit. Mede door het één-kindpolitiek is de man-vrouwbalans ver zoek. Verwacht wordt dat in 2020 dertig miljoen mannen in de huwbare leeftijd gedwongen vrijgezel zullen blijven en dat vijf jaar later al tien procent van de Chinese mannen buiten de boot zal vallen. De Britse schrijfster Rachel Cusk beschrijft in haar romans het eigentijds vrouwelijk onbehagen. Ségolène Royal wil de eerste vrouwelijke president van Frankrijk worden. Haar campagne is echter in het slop geraakt. Mannelijkheid in vrouwen lijkt te worden gewaardeerd. Vrouwen zijn seksueel vrijgevochten, ondanks het verschil dat er gemaakt wordt tussen een slet en een flinke jongen bij dezelfde mate van promiscue gedrag. De Amerikaanse journaliste Ariel Levy trekt met haar 'Female chauvinist pigs: women and the rise of the raunch culture' dit onderwerp weer terug in het debat. Aan de basis van haar analyse staat de seksualisering van de westerse samenleving, waarin porno een publieke aangelegenheid is geworden. Ingegaan wordt ook op het hedendaagse feminisme en waar het zich anno 2007 moet bezig houden.

- Description
- In the wake of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, many states tested Roe by placing restrictions on abortion rights. Most states now have parental consent laws for women under age 18. For minors who have reason to avoid parental involvement, the Supreme Court has instituted a generally welcomed compromise that allows minors to seek authorization by a third party, usually a judge. In this study, Silverstein demonstrates that this compromise is fatally flawed. Widely surveying courts in Alabama, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, she discovered that while some courts implement the bypass process straightforwardly, in many others judges defy the law. Some will not sign bypass waivers because they oppose abortion: others insist that the minor receive counseling from a pro-life Christian ministry: still others appoint a lawyer to represent the interests of the fetus. Silverstein explains the problems with this compromise, concluding that it is rooted in the myth that judges can be relied on to be unbiased. While her writing tends toward the academic and legalistic, Silverstein has produced an important contribution to women's studies and legal practice and theory.

- Description
- Using fathers' first-hand accounts from letters, journals, and personal interviews along with hospital records and medical literature, Leavitt offers a new perspective on the changing role of expectant fathers from the 1940s to the 1980s. She shows how, as men moved first from the hospital waiting room to the labor room in the 1960s, and then on to the delivery and birthing rooms in the 1970s and 1980s, they became more involved in the birth experience and their influence over events expanded. With attention to power and privilege, Leavitt charts not only the increasing involvement of fathers, but also medical inequalities, the impact of race and class, and the evolution of hospital policies. The book is illustrated with images from TV, films, and magazines.

- Society stigmatizes teen pregnancy, but most teenage mothers keep their babies and many regard their pregnancies as the best thing that ever happened to them. In this book, Gregson explores teen mothers’ shared culture: how they perceive their situations and how they experience stigma. Gregson presents the stories and voices of a group of mostly, but not exclusively, white teen mothers, a group often overlooked in the literature. She reveals a world in which teenage mothers compete with each other to show competency as parents and proclaim the virtues of teen parenting over that of women in their twenties, thirties, and forties. Gregson discusses the teen mothers’ conceptions of fatherhood and how they judge their own children’s fathers, including the issue of older boyfriends impregnating teenage girls.

- Description
- From the 1940s to the 1970s, millions of women were exposed prenatally to the synthetic estrogen DES, a 'wonder medicine' intended to prevent miscarriages. However, DES actually had damaging consequences for the women born from DES mothers. The 'DES daughters' were found to have a rare form of vaginal cancer or were infertile. They were also at risk for miscarriages and stillbirths. In this book Susan Bell recounts the experiences of this generation of 'victims'. She presents the voices of those women who developed cancer, those who were cancer-free but have concerns about becoming pregnant, and those who suffered other medical and/or reproductive difficulties. Bell examines the hierarchy of knowledge and power of scientists, doctors, and daughters, tracing the emergence of a feminist health movement. The 'embodied knowledge' of these DES daughters prompted them to become advocates and form a social movement that challenged reproductive medical knowledge specifically, but also the politics of women's health in general.

- The Myth of the Perfect Pregnancy provides a reassuring perspective on early pregnancy loss and suggests ways for miscarriage to more effectively be acknowledged by women, their families, their healthcare providers, and the maternity care industry.. .When a couple plans for a child today, every moment seems precious and unique. Home pregnancy tests promise good news just days after conception, and prospective parents can track the progress of their pregnancy day by day with apps that deliver a stream of embryonic portraits. On-line due date calculators trigger a direct-marketing barrage of baby-name lists and diaper coupons. Ultrasounds as early as eight weeks offer a first photo for the baby book. Yet, all too often, even the best-strategized childbearing plans go awry. . .About twenty percent of confirmed pregnancies miscarry, mostly in the first months of gestation. Statistically, early pregnancy losses are a normal part of childbearing for healthy women. Drawing on sources ranging from advice books and corporate marketing plans to diary entries and blog posts, Lara Freidenfelds offers a deep perspective on how this common and natural phenomenon has been experienced. As she shows, historically, miscarriages were generally taken in stride so long as a woman eventually had the children she desired.. .This has changed in recent decades, and an early pregnancy loss is often heartbreaking and can be as devastating to couples as losing a child. Freidenfelds traces how innovations in scientific medicine, consumer culture, cultural attitudes toward women and families, and fundamental convictions about human agency have reshaped the childbearing landscape. While the benefits of an increased emphasis on parental affection, careful pregnancy planning, attentive medical care, and specialized baby gear are real, they have also created unrealistic and potentially damaging expectations about a couple's ability to control reproduction and achieve perfect experiences.

- Description
- Discussion of the role of technology in feminism both in the past and the present. This collection explores both the advances and setbacks of technology - including breast pump, egg freezing and in vitro fertilization - for women, sexually, biologically, economically and politically. It considers not only whether or not a radical, emancipatory feminism is possible today but what such a feminism might look like.

- Description
- All politics are reproductive politics, argues Briggs. From longer work hours to the election of Donald Trump, the current political crisis is above all about reproduction. Briggs outlines how politicians’ racist accounts of reproduction, stories of Black “welfare queens” and Latina “breeding machines', were the leading wedge in the government and business disinvestment in families. With decreasing wages, rising McJobs and no resources for family care, households have grown ever more precarious over the past forty years in sharply race-and class-stratified ways.

- Description
- No longer is pregnancy a shameful condition in Hollywood films, but an attractive attribute, often enhancing the romantic or comedic storyline of a female character. Oliver investigates this shift and its reflection of changing attitudes toward women's roles in reproduction and the family. Reading such films as Children of Men (2006), Knocked Up (2007), Juno (2007), Baby Mama (2008), Away We Go (2009), Precious (2009), The Back-up Plan (2010), Due Date (2010), and Twilight: Breaking Dawn (2011), Oliver investigates pregnancy as a vehicle for romance, a political issue of 'choice,' a representation of the hosting of 'others,' a prism for fears of miscegenation, and a screen for modern technological anxieties.

- Description
- This book explores the historical role and influence of protective legislation for American women workers, both as a step toward modern labor standards and as a barrier to equal rights. Spanning the twentieth century, the book tracks the rise and fall of women-only state protective laws—such as maximum hour laws, minimum wage laws, and night work laws—from their roots in progressive reform through the passage of New Deal labor law to the feminist attack on single-sex protective laws in the 1960s and 1970s.
