Every year, millions of women have their lives turned inside out by the experience of pregnancy. Wolf takes a critical look at the powerful vested interests in the pregnancy "business" and at the social message coming at women. She discusses with devastating honesty her own two pregnancies and those of other women.
'Misconceptions' is a moving, provocative and unusually candid account of pregnancy and childbirth which for the first time tells the truth about women's conflicting emotions and society's hypocritical attitudes to women's experience.
