Examining the medical and cultural practices surrounding pregnancy, new motherhood, and infant feeding, this book states that late eighteenth century practices reshaped mothers' bodies. As a result, it is difficult for them to establish and maintain healthy and safe boundaries and appropriate divisions between public and private space.
Mass Hysteria examines the medical and cultural practices surrounding pregnancy, new motherhood, and infant feeding. Late eighteenth century transformations in these practices reshaped mothers'' bodies, and contemporary norms and routines of prenatal care and early motherhood have inherited the legacy of that era. As a result, mothers are socially positioned in ways that can make it difficult for them to establish and maintain healthy and safe boundaries and appropriate divisions between public and private space.
