{"product_id":"9781501307140","title":"Conceived in Modernism: The Aesthetics and Politics of Birth Control","description":"Current debates about birth control can be surprisingly volatile, especially given the near-universal use of contraception among American and British women.\u003ci\u003e Conceived in Modernism: The Aesthetics and Politics of Birth Control \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a new perspective on these debates by demonstrating that the political positions surrounding birth control have roots in literary concerns, specifically those of modernist writers. Whereas most scholarship treats modernism and birth control activism as parallel, but ultimately separate, movements, \u003ci\u003eConceived in Modernism \u003c\/i\u003eshows that they were deeply intertwined. This book argues not only that literary concerns exerted a lasting influence on the way activists framed the emerging politics of contraception, but that birth control activism helped shape some of modernism's most innovative concepts. By revealing the presence of literary aesthetics in the discourse surrounding birth control,\u003ci\u003e Conceived in Modernism \u003c\/i\u003ehelps us see this discourse as a variable facet rather than a permanent bulwark of reproductive rights debates.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145499328752,"sku":"9781501307140","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781501307140_p0.jpg?v=1763708601","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781501307140","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
