Telling Bodies Performing Birth
Editorial Reviews
Review
"A strikingly original study of a compelling genre of personal experience narrative -- the stories through which women make meaning out of birth. Telling Bodies Performing Birth is a gripping read that intellectually challenges and produces pleasure." -- Dwight Conquergood, professor of performance studies, Northwestern University
"Della Pollock's writing seduces us into new realms of theory, experience and narrative until we cannot escape the importance of 'telling bodies, performing birth'. This is a big and beautiful book to be read by one and all." -- Elspeth Probyn, head of the Department of Gender Studies, University of Sydney
