Like a Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy
像母親一樣
內容介紹
一本坦率的女性主義和個人深度探索懷孕和母職的科學與文化的書
和大多數初為人母的女性一樣,安吉拉·加爾貝斯(Angela Garbes)在懷孕時充滿了疑問。胎盤到底是什麼,它是如何運作的?身體如何進入分娩狀態?母乳真的最好嗎?酒完全不能喝嗎?但她很快發現,要找到令人滿意的答案並不容易。婦產科醫生謹慎地引用統計數據;網上的資料嚇唬你,給出相互矛盾且常常不準確的信息;甚至最受信賴的書籍也會帶有很大的主觀判斷。為了教育自己,這位食品與文化作家展開了一段深入的探索之旅,深入研究圍繞母職的科學奧秘和文化態度,以找到那些先前只被以「女性應該做什麼」形式給出的建議的答案,而不是讓她們自由選擇正確的道路。
在《像母親一樣》(Like a Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy)一書中,加爾貝斯提供了一份經過嚴格研究且引人入勝的懷孕和母職的生理學、生物學和心理學的觀察報告,這些報告是基於深入報導和個人經驗的。她以記者的好奇心、女性主義者的視角以及母親的親密和緊迫感,探索了從流產到複雜分娩再到產後變化等方面女性關心的問題背後的新興科學。最終,她提供了一幅真實而直觀的圖景,展示了那九個月中發生的改變,並闡述了女性為何應該獲得更好的護理、支持和信息。
這本書充滿幽默,並由對女性身體及其力量的敬畏、欣賞和理解所驅動。《像母親一樣》打破了常見的神話和過時的假設,為那些在經歷人生最大且最深刻變化之一的女性提供了指導和陪伴。

書評
"You don't have to be a mother or even a woman to be fascinated by the science and physiology that Garbes writes about." -- NPR's Fresh Air
"This is the book I wish had been available during my pregnancy and my baby's first weeks of life. Angela Garbes' voice is reassuring and relatable, and her curiosity is infectious, and her sense of humor is just what people in the trenches of early parenthood need." -- Emily Gould, of Emily Books and author of Friendship and The Heart Says Whatever
"In spite of how long women have been giving birth, there is a lot of misinformation out there about pregnancy and motherhood. Angela Garbes seeks to get it straight in Like a Mother. She not only corrects misinformation but offers advice and support." -- Bustle
"Garbes examines preconceived ideas about pregnancy and the history of women's health from a critical standpoint, revealing the prejudices and politics so ingrained in our culture that they still affect the care (or lack thereof) pregnant women receive today. Like a Mother is a compelling read." -- The Stranger
"The science is sublime. I especially appreciated, oddly, learning how much we still don't know about the high-stakes path to parenthood. But what got me was Garbes' regard for mothers as people in their own right, rather than the hosts or self-sacrificing caregivers they're conditioned to be." -- Seattle Times
"Garbes unpacks reams of pregnancy advice, often absurd in its conflicting demands. Like a Mother gave me a toolkit for approaching a hoped-for future." -- Claire Fallon, Huffington Post
"Like a Mother illustrates scientific fact with frankness and intimate detail." -- New York
"An empowering resource...Garbes shares up-to-date, well-substantiated information about women's physical and mental health, aiming to help readers reduce their anxiety and make truly informed choices." -- Publishers Weekly
"Like a Mother is the evidence-based, open-minded book that U.S. pregnancy culture needs...a true feminist accomplishment that puts trust and agency back with women and parents." -- Rewire.News
