Document Summary

Women"s place in the social relations of reproduction is therefore circumscribed by her childbearing function . In carters article we nd out that orbit is a midwife who came to toronto from scotland in 1957. Although orbit had experience in midwifery and as a nurse, she herself did nto have any children. One of the key themes that is adressed is the social relations of reproduction which orbit relates to the process of bearing children. When we talk about social relations we are not taling about the physical body prosy, but that women place in the social relations of reproduction is circumscribed by her child bearing function. Most thought has come from the male consciousness, and we need to now see it as a feminist process. Ideas are a product of history (as marx argued) history is not the product of ideas. the evolution of ideas in reproductive technologies, ideas are dependant on time and space.
