A Mother’s Theology of the Body
What happens when motherhood is no longer seen as a gift, but as a problem to be solved—or a product to be bought?
In a world that celebrates self-optimization, treats fertility as a liability, and offers algorithms in place of wisdom, Reclaiming Motherhood from a Culture Gone Mad is a bold call to remember what it means to be fully human.
Samantha Stephenson—a Catholic bioethicist, writer, and mother of four—pulls back the curtain on the forces shaping modern womanhood: reproductive technologies, consumer-driven parenting, and the cultural narratives that quietly teach us to see our children, our bodies, and ourselves as burdens to manage.
This is not just a book for mothers. It is a meditation on what’s at stake when we lose touch with the mystery, meaning, and moral significance of motherhood. Drawing from theology, science, personal story, and cultural critique, Stephenson invites women to reclaim motherhood—not as a role to perform, but as a radically human way of being in the world.
Part manifesto, part memoir, and part moral compass, this is a book for women who sense that something sacred is being lost—and who are ready to fight for its return.
A Devotional for the Early Days
