Sinopsis

Thisádetailedáand accessibleábookáprovides a history of infanticide, baby farming and abortion in Walesáfromáthe late-Victorian era through the turn of the century. Through an analysis of cases drawn from both rural and urban communities in south and west Wales, Smith reveals consistencies and contrasts between theáaccusedáwomenáand theiráallegedácrimes, while examining the changing attitudes towards child murder and insanity throughout the period.áDrawingáupon official trial records, press reports and asylum casebooks, this study explores theárealitiesáof unwanted pregnancy and infanticide during this period, an area of research that has previouslyábeenáoverlooked by historians of Welsh womenâÇÖs history.áá
