Although times and practices have changed, reproductive politics remain a fraught topic and site of injustice, especially for poor women and women of color. Enduring Shame explores two volatile decades in American history-the 1960s and '70s to trace how shame remained a dynamic and animating emotion in increasingly public interventions into unwed and teen pregnancy. Heather Brook Adams makes a case for recasting this era not as a time of gaining reproductive rights for all but rather as a moment when communicative practices of shame and blame cultivated new forms of injustice. Drawing from personal interviews, archival documents, legal decisions, public policy, journalism, memoirs, and advocacy writing, Adams articulates the rhetorical power of shame to explain how the American public was persuaded to think about reproduction, sexual righteousness, and unwed pregnancy during a time of presumed progress.-- $c Provided by publisher 520 $a Despite the aspirational goals of reproductive liberation, public sentiment frequently upheld supremacist notions of whiteness that were based on ideas of racial, economic, and moral fitness-even as these sentiments informed new public policy. By centering evidence of shame as a communicated or threatening force, the book maps a range of experiences across these decades from women's experiences of hiding and "revirginalization" in homes for unwed mothers to policy and legal changes that are typically understood as proof of shame's dissipation. Adams explores evidence related to Title IX legislation, Roe v. Wade, and the unrelenting Hyde Amendment that has long restricted reproductive autonomy for poor (often non-white) women, and Congressional interventions of the late 1970s meant to curb an "epidemic" of "babies having babies." Rhetorical historiography and questions of reproductive justice guide the analysis and women's own voices provide essential perspectives and context for this recent history. This book recovers a misunderstood part of women's recent history by considering why reproductive politics remain so volatile given women's previous gains in this area and why shame continues to figure so centrally and powerfully in public discourse about limitations on women's reproductive and sexual freedoms.-- $c Provided by publisher 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 215-229) and index. 650 0 $a Unmarried mothers $z United States. 650 0 $a Teenage pregnancy $z United States. 650 0 $a Pregnancy $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Abortion $z United States $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Women's rights $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 6 $a Mères célibataires $z Ãtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Grossesse chez l'adolescente $z Ãtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Grossesse $x Aspect psychologique. 651 6 $a Ãtats-Unis $x MÅurs et coutumes $y 20e siècle. 650 7 $a LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES $x Rhetoric. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HEALTH & FITNESS $x Pregnancy & Childbirth. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Abortion $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794614 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a Pregnancy $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01075138 650 7 $a Teenage pregnancy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01145514 650 7 $a Unmarried mothers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162002 650 7 $a Women's rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178818 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Adams, Heather Brook. $t Enduring shame. $d Columbia, South Carolina : University of South Carolina Press, 2022 $z 9781643362953 $w (DLC) 2021061597 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230201025317.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DBE39232A1FE11ED9BB60AE923ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
