Description - Pregnant Pictures by Sandra Matthews
What does an image of a pregnant woman mean? Pregnant with meaning but resistant to interpretation, photos of pregnant bodies rarely appear in public. When they do, they viscerally challenge society's perception of women, sex, and reproduction. Pregnant Pictures assembles an astonishing and visually powerful collection of over 200 photos of pregnant women in the twentieth century. These varied images - from medical textbooks, childbirth manuals, and ads for maternity clothes to family snapshots, fine art photos, even Annie Leibovitz's celebrity portraits - defy any typical notion of pregnancy. Together, they make a vital contribution to feminist understandings of pregnancy as experienced by women from all walks of life.
