Reviews

Exceptionally well written and vigorously researched, Misconception challenges common understandings of infertility. Bell illustrates how stereotypes of who should be mothers affect women's infertility experiences and exacerbate ingrained social-class inequalities. Misconception is sociological research at its best--a must read! --Theresa Morris author of Cut It Out: The C-Section Epidemic in America (04/08/2014)
