Through nostalgic idealizations of motherhood, family, and the home, influential leaders in early twentieth-century America constructed and legitimated a range of reforms that promoted human reproduction. Their pronatalism emerged from a modernist conviction that reproduction and population could be regulated. European countries sought to regulate or encourage reproduction through legislation; America, by contrast, fostered ideological and cultural ideas of pronatalism through what Laura Lovett calls "nostalgic modernism," which romanticized agrarianism and promoted scientific racism and eugenics. Lovett looks closely at the ideologies of five influential American figures: Mary Lease's maternalist agenda, Florence Sherbon's eugenic "fitter families" campaign, George Maxwell's "homecroft" movement of land reclamation and home building, Theodore Roosevelt's campaign for conservation and country life, and Edward Ross's sociological theory of race suicide and social control. Demonstrating the historical circumstances that linked agrarianism, racism, and pronatalism, Lovett shows how reproductive conformity was manufactured, how it was promoted, and why it was coercive. In addition to contributing to scholarship in American history, gender studies, rural studies, and environmental history, Lovett's study sheds light on the rhetoric of "family values" that has regained currency in recent years.

Getting pregnant isn't easy. Have you spent months and months upside down riding an imaginary bike or scissor-kicking the ceiling? Or spent hours thinking 'maybe I'm not ovulating?' or 'maybe you're not aiming it right?' Well you're not alone. One in six couples experience some kind of fertility problem, and the average couple takes over six months to conceive. Author Genevieve Morton and her husband Ben started trying for a baby when she was 34. After 18 months of trying to get pregnant without success, they realised that a positive pregnancy test might be harder than they thought. Sperm tests, a laparoscopy and a few ultrasounds proved nothing, leaving them with that most unsatisfactory of categorisations: unexplained infertility. If you're considering IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) or IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), or you're wondering what oats and liquid zinc can do for your partner's fertility, Trying to Conceive is the book for you. It brings you conception tips, advice and first-hand insights from other people who have experienced only too well the emotional rollercoaster of trying to conceive. An honest - and fun - guide to coping with life while trying to conceive,Trying to Conceive is your A-Z survival guide if you're trying for a baby. Helping you cope with the drawn-out conception process - and, crucially, written by someone who has been through the trials of unexplained infertility -Trying to Conceive gets you through the emotional, pscyhological and physical experience of trying to conceive. Combining personal stories with medical advice, it's an easy-to-read, approachable guide to getting pregnant, including tips on how to ensure healthy ovulation, reduce the risk of impeding fertility and deal with the stress of well-meaning pregnant friends. Trying to Conceive isn't overloaded with scientific, medical language you don't understand. It isn't scary. It won't make you feel old or desperate either. Think of it more as your caring, wise, empathetic best friend guiding you through the difficulty of how to get pregnant.

Conceiving Agency: Reproductive Authority among Haredi Women explores the ways Haredi Jewish women make decisions about their reproductive lives. Although they must contend with interference from doctors, rabbis, and the Israeli government, Haredi women find space for—and insist on—autonomy from them when they make decisions regarding the use of contraceptives, prenatal testing, fetal ultrasounds, and other reproductive practices. Drawing on their experiences of pregnancy, knowledge of cultural norms of reproduction, and theological beliefs, Raucher shows that Haredi women assert that they are in the best position to make decisions about reproduction. Conceiving Agency puts forward a new view of Haredi women acting in ways that challenge male authority and the structural hierarchies of their conservative religious tradition. Raucher asserts that Haredi women's reproductive agency is a demonstration of women's commitment to Haredi life and culture as well as an indication of how they define religious ethics.

With the global expansion of reproductive technologies, there are ever more ways to create a family, and more family types than ever before. This book explores the experiences of those persons - whether single, in a couple, or part of collective co-parenting arrangements; whether hetero- or homosexual; whether cis- or transgender - who are creating what has been termed ‘new family forms’ with reproductive ‘assistance’. Drawing on qualitative research from around the world, the book is particularly anchored in two bodies of social science scholarship - sociological and anthropological inquiries into the cultural impact of reproductive technologies on the one hand, and parenting culture studies on the other. It seeks to create fertile conversations between these scholarships, highlighting the intersections in the ways we think about conceiving and caring for children in today’s ‘reproductive landscape’. Focusing specifically on persons whose reproductive journeys do not conform to dominant scripts, the book traces the many ways in which intentions, expectations and technological developments contribute to changing and enduring conceptions of good parenthood in the twenty-first century. Taking a holistic perspective, the book presents deep insights into the experiences not only of (intending) parents, but also of donors, surrogates, medical professionals and activists. The collection will be of interest to an international readership of scholars of gender, reproduction, parenting and family life. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Anthropology & Medicine.
