Like a Mother A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy

by Angela Garbes

Angela Garbes combines scientific research with feminist analysis to explore pregnancy beyond the typical pregnancy guide's scope. She examines the biology of gestation, postpartum experience, and breastfeeding while interrogating the cultural narratives and medical establishment that shape maternal experience. Her approach centers women's bodily autonomy and challenges assumptions about what pregnancy should mean.
