This past weekend someone I know was reading _Promises I Can Keep: Why Poor Women Put Motherhood Before Marriage_. I wonder if it would go well in dialogue with with _Taking Chances_, having read neither.
Probably; I haven't read _Promises I Can Keep_, but Luker's _Dubious Conceptions_ addresses just that topic. I am a total fanboy -- her _Abortion and the Politics of Motherhood_ both made me pro-choice (this was a long time ago) and convinced me that social science was worthwhile.
