Challenging Conceptions

by Lisa Saffron

Published 1 July 1994
Enlightening, encouraging and empowering, this work describes the very simple techniques of self-insemination. It not only provides frank and clear explanations of techniques, but also includes sensitive chapters on the many issues surrounding self-insemination, including: making the decision; screening for health; getting pregnant; communicating with the children; the law; and telling others. The main encouragement for lesbians and single women hovering on the brink of motherhood lies in knowing there are similar women who are already mothers.
