Barren in the Promised Land: Childless Americans and the Pursuit of Happiness Paperback - 1997
by Elaine T. May
From the rear cover
Chronicling astonishing shifts in public attitudes toward reproduction, from the association of barrenness with the sin in colonial times, to the creation of laws for compulsory sterilization in the early twentieth century, from the baby craze of the 1950s, to the rise in voluntary childlessness in the 1990s, to the increasing reliance on startling reproductive technologies today, Elaine Tyler May reveals the intersection between public life and the most private part of our lives--sexuality, procreation, and family.
