Like a Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy by Angela Garbes is a nonfiction book that blends journalism, memoir, and feminist critique to examine pregnancy in a more honest and evidence-based way. Rather than treating pregnancy as a narrow medical event or a set of prescriptive rules, Garbes explores the biology, physiology, and social meaning of gestation, birth, and early motherhood. The book grew out of her own experience as a first-time mother and her frustration with the confusing, judgment-heavy advice available to pregnant people. It addresses subjects such as the placenta, labor, breastfeeding, miscarriage, postpartum recovery, and racial inequities in maternal care. The result is a work that aims to replace anxiety and misinformation with context, curiosity, and agency. Its purpose is not simply to inform, but also to challenge cultural assumptions that reduce women to patients, caretakers, or vessels, and instead frame them as knowledgeable participants in their own reproductive lives.
