Reconceptions

”““The best elements of narrative writing with fresh cultural observations about the dynamics of modern families and the growing influence of reproductive science. A moving, personal, and deeply researched read.”” —Peggy Orenstein, New York Times bestselling author of Girls & Sex “”Reconceptions is an important and propellant work that prompts readers to think in fresh ways about the meaning of family. Rachel Lehmann-Haupt is an energetic, capable guide through this personal and well-reported book, on a subject that will only become more resonant as political sanctions on family structure and reproducing bodies build.“” —Rebecca Traister, New York Times bestselling author of All the Single Ladies ““Rachel Lehmann-Haupt integrates substantive scientific and psychological research with powerful personal stories … This thoughtful book will be helpful to anyone wishing to chart their own route to building a family—and to anyone who seeks to understand how to help all of today’s diverse families thrive.”” —Stephanie Coontz, director of research and public education for the Council on Contemporary Families and author of The Way We Never Were ““Engaging, illuminating, and sometimes shocking, Reconceptions gives a candid account of the impact of assisted reproduction on individuals, the family, and wider society in the US today. It will surely spark much needed debate about what is, and isn’t, conducive to the well-being of children.”” —Susan Golombok, professor of family research and director of the Centre for Family Research at theUniversity of Cambridge and author of We Are Family“
