Humanities Professor Explores the Assumptions, Usefulness of Pregnancy Manuals

How To books have been around for years, but have you ever thought about the belief systems behind them or how usable their instructions are? That’s of even greater concern when you think about books that impact critical times in your life, such as pregnancy.

Marika Seigel, an associate professor of rhetoric and technical communication in the Department of Humanities at Michigan Technological University, looks into just that with her recently published book, The Rhetoric of Pregnancy.

The book dissects pregnancy manuals, examining how they portray the way women see themselves during that time in their lives and how they view the function of prenatal care. Seigel also suggests ways to improve communication about pregnancy and healthcare.
