Designing Motherhood

Things That Make and Break Our Births is a book by Amber Winick and Michelle Millar Fisher (MIT Press/Penguin Random House, 2021) and an internationally touring exhibition.

Designing Motherhood makes the case that there is a whole world of objects pertaining to women, mothers and pregnant people that have been overlooked from the perspective of form and function, and unstudied in terms of how their designs came to be.”
