Description

In Misconception: Social Class and Infertility in America, Ann V. Bell challenges long-held beliefs about reproductive health. While many assume infertility is primarily a concern for wealthy, white women, statistical evidence shows that women of low socioeconomic status face much greater difficulties conceiving children. This book examines the lived experiences of poor women and women of color to overturn historical stereotypes. Bell explores how society views the fertility of affluent versus poor women differently, and how these perceptions lead to real-world consequences. By investigating how social policies are shaped by these biases, the text provides a deep look into the political and social realities of reproductive health in the United States. Part of the Families in Focus series from Rutgers University Press, this work is an essential read for those studying the intersection of sociology, medical science, and social class. It offers a necessary perspective on how socioeconomic status influences access to care and the public understanding of fertility.
