    Matrescence

    During pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood, women undergo a far-reaching physiological and psychological metamorphosis. There is no other time in a human’s life course that entails such dramatic change – other than adolescence. And yet this life-altering transition has been sorely neglected by science, medicine and philosophy. Its seismic effects go largely unrepresented across literature and the arts.

In this investigation, acclaimed science journalist and author Lucy Jones brings to light the emerging concept of ‘matrescence’.
