Dear Feasties, as a result of a recent (May 09) conference at Oregon on
Philosophical Inquiry into Pregnancy, Childbirth and Mothering, I have
compiled a bibliography of feminist work on the topics divided into two
sections. The first lists works by the conference participants. The second
lists additional works recommended by conference participants.
I have copied it below for those of you who may be interested. -Amy Mullin
