Birth, a process towards self-definition.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I have read a great many books on birth and motherhood not because I am a mother, but because I am a midwife. I found this book to be an extraordinary account of motherhood. "Increase" is a graceful description of pregnancy, birth, and the evolution of self-definition. It is a kind of meditation on motherhood: a poem celebrating the joy, pain, and fear associated with self exploration and determination.
