| Item Description: | "Challenging Conceptions is a powerful and inspiring book about the experience of lesbian couples and single women creating their own families independently of a social father. In an authoratative and accessible manner, Saffron sets of the the medical, social, political and legal realities of independent motherhood, including a step by step guide to self-insemination. She provides the reader with essential advice and information on seeking and screening donors, getting pregnant, and on what to do when self-insemination isn't working. Through a series of interviews, the author charts the personal experiences of a wide range of mothers, co-parents, children and donors and we learn from their unique perspectives the happiness and fulfilment which their 'alternative' families have brought to their lives."--From cover. |
