'This book brings a feminist philosophical perspective to issues of pregnancy and childcare. It will make a contribution to the growing philosophical literature on parent-child relationships, to feminist philosophy and to work on the embodied self. As well, the book will break new ground and stake out pregnancy and childcare as a topic for further philosophical work. Any such work will be sure to cite Mullin's book. There is nothing else like it.' Samantha Brennan, University of Western Ontario
