Feminism and the Mastery of Women and Childbirth

Dr Nall's monograph uses a title that may seem familiar since it is a tribute to Val Plumwood's classic ecofeminist work, Feminism and the Mastery of Nature. Nall, like Plumwood, explores the dominant Western discourse around gender and childbirth. The research examines the connections between the understanding of women and nature and the construction of pervasive conceptualisations and practices of childbirth.
