Review
"A remarkably detailed study of childbirth and family planning from the colonial period through the early nineteenth century. . . . Relevant not just to historians but also to those who study current debates."--American Historical Review
"This important new work skillfully synthesizes more than four decades of scholarship on women, fertility, and sexuality while successfully recovering clues to the intimate conversations and decision making that took place between husband and wife and within women's social networks. . . . Essential."--Choice
"Outstanding. . . . [An] admirable book."--Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography
"Fascinating. . . . Klepp offers an exciting new interpretation of women in Revolutionary America, and she presents her quantitative and qualitative evidence in an accessible and elegant manner."--Common-Place
"Interesting. . . . Demographers have much to gain from reading the work of this investigator."--Population and Development Review
"An exciting new interpretation of the radicalism of the American Revolution."--Early American Literature
"Everyone interested in the American revolutionary era, women, and human reproduction will find Revolutionary Conceptions insightful."–-Register of the Kentucky Historical Society
"Through an exhaustive examination of an enormous variety of qualitative sources . . . Klepp is able to reconstruct important shifts in how people thought about these sensitive issues. . . . Fascinating. . . . A true example of interdisciplinary work at its best--rigorous yet imaginative, nuanced yet sweeping."--Journal of Interdisciplinary History
"The heart of the book . . . focus[es] on cultural reinterpretation of fertility and the technologies of family limitation.

Book Description
"Klepp's adept use of quantitative data and visual imagery makes the fertility transition real in cultural as well as demographic terms. We see the transformation in the representations of women's bodies and calculate the shift in numbers of births. Her knowledge of the evidence is unsurpassed, and she presents her finding with clarity and insight."--Kathleen M. Brown, University of Pennsylvania
