The Ovary of Eve is a rich and often hilarious account of seventeenth and eighteenthcentury efforts to understand conception. In these early years of the Scientific Revolution, the most intelligent men and women of the day struggled to come to terms with the origins of new life, and one theorypreformationsparked an intensely heated debate that continued for over a hundred years. Clara PintoCorreia traces the history of this much maligned theory through the cultural capitals of Europe.'The most wonderfully eyeopening, or imaginationopening book, as amusing as it is instructive.'Mary Warnock, London Observer'[A] fascinating and often humorous study of a reproductive theory that flourished from the mid17th century to the mid18th century.'Nina C. Ayoub, Chronicle of Higher Education'More than just a good story, The Ovary of Eve is an object lesson about the history of science: Don't trust it. . . . PintoCorreia says she wants to tell the story of history's losers. In doing so, she makes defeat sound more appealing than victory.'Emily Eakin, Nation.'A sparkling history of preformation as it once affected every facet of European culture.'Robert Taylor, Boston Globe
