Description

Proving Pregnancy explores infanticide cases in the United States from the late eighteenth to the late nineteenth centuries. This historical study documents how women, including Black and white, enslaved and free, gradually lost control over reproduction to male medical and legal professionals. In the first half of the nineteenth century, community-based female knowledge played a significant role in infanticide prosecutions. Midwives, neighbors, healers, and relatives possessed a deep understanding of an accused woman's intimate life, the circumstances of her pregnancy, and potential motives. This book examines the shift in power from these community-based female networks to the rising authority of male-dominated medical and legal systems.
