Publisher's Synopsis

Drawing from diaries, letters, medical journals, physicians' reports, and census data, McMillen (history, Davidson College, NC) presents an account of the reproductive experiences of Southern women from 1800-1860. The sources limit the study to those with enough education to keep records. Annotation
