Matthews (film and photography, Hampshire College) and Wexler (American studies and women's studies, Yale University) have assembled approximately 200 photographs of pregnant women in the 20th century. The photographs include images from medical textbooks, childbirth manuals, ads for maternity clothing, family snapshots, fine art photos, and celebrity portraits. The text considers what such images say about our society's attitudes toward women, sex, and reproduction. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
