Q: "Like A Mother" supposes that more widespread knowledge of the science of pregnancy, which your book notes has been limited until very recently to studies done by white men and kept within medical communities rather than the women they serve, would contribute to a more feminist, inclusive culture of pregnancy leading to better outcomes for both mother and child. You can catch Angela, a Seattle-based writer and mother of two, at Town Hall Seattle in conversation with Lindy West on June 13 or Third Place Books Seward Park on July 18. This empowering read and the potent research inside it is the pro-mom manifesto that at last gives pregnant women a seat at the table and affirms what mothers have known all along: that we know best. With wit and candor, Angela Garbes debut book "Like a Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy" delivers a deeply stirring, unapologetically honest and long overdue look into the experience of pregnancy and the arcane science behind it.
