Telling Bodies Performing Birth: Everyday Narratives of Childbirth - Popular Cultures, Everyday Lives
Della Pollock
Considering issues such as pain and fertility, and exploring both the language of medical discourse and the silence of personal mystery, she reveals the numerous ways in which giving birth is narrated in the contemporary U. S. Pollock draws on cultural criticism, performance studies, and narrative theory to unpack this long-ignored genre.
