Motherhood Deferred A Womans Journey

A gutsy exploration of the generation of women who came of age during the women's movement, coupled with the author's story of her later-in-life attempts to have a baby. Unable to conceive naturally, & nearing 40, she availed herself of a veritable alphabet soup of the latest fertility procedures. Spurred by her consuming desire to bear a child, her thoughts return to the past -- her heady college days, her 1950s youth -- in an effort to discover how she has arrived at this juncture in her life. A portrait of a generation of women born to one set of gender-inspired expectations, who were then expected to flourish under a different set.Fleming, Ann Taylor is the author of 'Motherhood Deferred A Womans Journey' with ISBN 9780788165580 and ISBN 0788165585.
