Intrauterine insemination is a simple medical procedure that has been available since the 1950s, but doctors were baffled by Jenn's situation. With no man factoring into her relationship, she was disparaged by doctors, given an inaccurate diagnosis, and her medical needs were overlooked. Berney decided to step outside of the system, and, looking into the history of fertility and her own community, she realized queer women have a long history of being disregarded by a patriarchal medical community, and have worked around it to build families on their own terms. In The Other Mothers, Berney reflects on the odds that were stacked against her because of her sexual orientation and envisions a bright future worth fighting for. Writing with clarity, determination, and hope, Berney gives us a wonderful glimpse of what America can be"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Lesbian mothers $z United States. 650 0 $a Families $z United States. 650 0 $a Sexual orientation $z United States. 650 0 $a Artificial insemination, Human $z United States. 650 7 $a Artificial insemination, Human. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817235 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Lesbian mothers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00996491 650 7 $a Sexual orientation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114902 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Berney, Jennifer, $t The other mothers $d Naperville : Sourcebooks, 2021. $z 9781728222844 $w (DLC) 2020035771 941 $a 5 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20210917055753.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210402013636.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210402012416.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210311010725.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20210302012251.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AA10A184652711EBAC2324F85BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
