For most of history a pregnant body was something to keep covered. This book follows how that changed, from Renaissance paintings and polite euphemism to Demi Moore on the cover of Vanity Fair in 1991, and the bump-watching press that came after.
It's frank about desire, too. It asks what people are actually drawn to, looks at pregnancy in film and TV, in fashion and in online porn categories, and keeps coming back to the question of whose body this is. It deals with adult pregnancy only.
