520    "When Jenn Berney and her wife decided they wanted to have
       children, they took the next logical step: they went to a 
       fertility clinic. Intrauterine insemination is a simple 
       medical procedure that has been available since the 1950s,
       but doctors were baffled by Jenn's situation. With no man 
       factoring into her relationship, she was disparaged by 
       doctors, given an inaccurate diagnosis, and her medical 
       needs were overlooked. Berney decided to step outside of 
       the system, and, looking into the history of fertility and
       her own community, she realized queer women have a long 
       history of being disregarded by a patriarchal medical 
       community, and have worked around it to build families on 
       their own terms. In The Other Mothers, Berney reflects on 
       the odds that were stacked against her because of her 
       sexual orientation and envisions a bright future worth 
       fighting for. Writing with clarity, determination, and 
       hope, Berney gives us a wonderful glimpse of what America 
       can be"--|cProvided by publisher.
