520 1  "How male medical authorities and female literary authors 
       struggled to describe the inner workings of the unseen - 
       and competed to shape public understanding of it - is the 
       focus of this engaging work by Holly Tucker. In 
       illuminating the gender politics underlying dramatic 
       changes in reproductive theory and practice, Tucker shows 
       just how tenuous the boundaries of scientific "fact" and 
       marvelous fictions were in early modern France." 
520 8  "On the literary front, Tucker argues, women used the 
       fairy tale to rethink the biology of childbirth and the 
       sociopolitical uses to which it had been put. She shows 
       that in references to midwives, infertility, sex selection,
       and embryological theories, fairy-tale writers 
       experimented with alternative ways of understanding 
       pregnancy. In so doing they suggested new ways in which to
       envision women, knowledge, and power in both the public 
       and the private spheres."--Jacket.
