Mother: An Unconventional History

Trama

When acclaimed historian Sarah Knott became pregnant, she asked herself the question "What was mothering like in the past?". But accounts of motherhood are hard to find. For centuries, historians have concerned themselves with wars, politics and revolutions, not the everyday details of carrying and caring for a baby.
