By examining the attitudes and behaviours surrounding the contentious issues of family, contraception, abortion, sexuality, beauty, and identity, this book demonstrates that many women - rural and urban, free and enslaved - began to radically redefine motherhood. They asserted, or attempted to assert, control over their bodies, their marriages, and their daughters' opportunities.Published for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, VirginiaBirth controlUnited StatesHistory18th centuryWomenUnited StatesSocial conditions18th centuryUnited StatesSocial conditionsTo 1865Birth controlHistoryWomenSocial conditions304.6/66082097309033Klepp Susan E. 1504227MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786773103321Revolutionary conceptions3733111UNINA
