?Interrogating Pregnancy Loss addresses with poignancy and nuance topics that are too often discussed myopically or ignored completely by feminist academics. By delving into the socially and emotionally complex dimensions of abortion, miscarriage, and stillbirth, this volume provides a truly groundbreaking contribution to feminist motherhood scholarship.? ?VANESSA REIMER, editor of Angels on Earth: Mothering, Religion, and Spirituality, and blogger at Loss Mama ?Interrogating Pregnancy Loss challenges its readers to think about pregnancy as a state of being?as an embodied social phenomenon?as experiencing rather than merely expecting. As such, through scholarly literature as well as through narrative, we understand pregnancy loss more than an object to be studied. This edited text is written in such a way as to be useful to theorists, scholars doing empirical research, as well as practitioners, and lay audiences.? ?DEBORAH DAVIDSON, Associate Professor, York University
