In the Age of Revolution, how did American women conceive their lives and marital obligations? By examining the attitudes and behaviors surrounding the contentious issues of family, contraception, abortion, sexuality, beauty, and identity, Susan E. Klepp demonstrates that many womenrural and urban, free and enslavedbegan to radically redefine motherhood. They asserted, or attempted to assert, control over their bodies, their marriages, and their daughters opportunities.Lateeighteenthcentury American women were among the first in the world to disavow the continual childbearing and large families that had long been considered ideal. Liberty, equality, and heartfelt religion led to new conceptions of virtuous, rational womanhood and responsible parenthood. These changes can be seen in falling birthrates, in advice to friends and kin, in portraits, and in a gradual, even reluctant, shift in mens opinions. Revolutionaryera women redefined femininity, fertility, family, and their futures by limiting births. Women might not have won the vote in the new Republic, they might not have gained formal rights in other spheres, but, Klepp argues, there was a womens revolution nonetheless.

The book is definitely informative, but at times it felt a bit dense. I appreciate the depth of research that went into it, but I had to reread some parts to fully grasp the concepts. Still, a valuable addition to my collection.

Insightful Read on Family Planning
I picked up this book from the Omohundro Institute for my research on women's health. It dives deep into fertility and family limitation in America and is packed with historical context. It's a bit academic but worth it if you're looking for serious insights.

Thought-Provoking but Lacked Flow
While the content is incredibly thought-provoking, I found the structure of the book lacking. Some chapters felt disjointed, which made it hard to follow at times. I appreciate the topic, but the delivery could be smoother.
