每年，世界各地都有成百上千的孩子出生在女同性恋母亲通过人工授精受孕的家庭。这种独特的组建家庭的形式创造了没有法律上或心理上的父亲的家庭，并挑战了我们对家庭的一些最基本的假设。女同性恋如何以及为什么使用人工授精来组建家庭？怎样才能最好地受到法律的保护？这是女权主义的问题吗？人工授精是女同性恋解放的终极目标，还是对核心家庭规范的背叛？种族、阶级和人类工程是如何涉及的？社会学家Amy Agigian通过法律调查和个人访谈，以及医学和精神分析研究，研究了这种生殖形式的影响和潜力。婴儿步骤是第一次深入讨论的问题和女同性恋授精提出的问题，这本书的目的是服务于一般读者和卫生保健提供者以及教师和学生在妇女研究，男女同性恋研究，社会学，法律研究和生物伦理学的利益。
Each year hundreds of children around the world are born to lesbian mothers who conceived through alternative insemination. This unique form of family-making creates families with no legal or psychological father, and challenges some of our most basic assumptions about what it means to be a family. How and why do lesbians use insemination to build their families? How best could it be protected by law? Is it a feminist issue? Is insemination the ultimate in lesbian liberation or a sell-out to nuclear family norms? How are race, class, and human engineering involved? Drawing on legal findings and personal interviews, as well as medical and psychoanalytic research, sociologist Amy Agigian looks at the impact and potential of this form of reproduction. Baby Steps is the first in-depth discussion of the issues and questions raised by lesbian insemination, and the book has been designed to serve the interests of general readers and health care providers as well as teachers and students in women's studies, gay and lesbian studies, sociology, legal studies, and bioethics.
