Book description
Every year, millions of women have their lives turned inside out by the
experience of pregnancy. A contemporary woman find herself caught in an
absurd paradox: while in the grip of one of the most primal, lonely,
sensual and, in some ways, psychologically debilitating and physically
dangerous experiences, she is overwhelmed by invasive, trivialising and
infantilising cultural messages about what is happening to her - and who
really owns the experience. Naomi Wolf is a bestselling American
writer, known for her advocacy of feminism and progressive politics. She
became internationally famous with the publication of her first book,
The Beauty Myth
, in 1991, and has gone on to write a subsequent six titles including:
Fire with Fire,
Promiscuities,
Misconceptions
and The Tree House
.
