Susan Klepp talked about her book, Revolutionary Conceptions: Women, Fertility and Family Limitation in America (The University of North Carolina Press, 2009). While Colonial American women were unable to own property, they were able to exert influence over family affairs. Women in this era began to redefine the role of “motherhood,” particularly on the issue of family planning. After her illustrated talk about this “different” type of revolution, Professor Klepp responded to questions from members of the audiene at Fraunces Tavern Museum in New York City. close
