For the purposes of this book speculative fiction includes science fiction, fantasy, mystery and any sub-genres. The theme is motherhood in the future. Some questions raised and/or answered by writers in this book:

What do you imagine the function of motherhood to be?
How do you think the image of motherhood will change?
How do you think the image of motherhood will stay the same?
What possible customs, norms or laws will be in place in the future that would have an impact on changing or affecting mothers?
How will science and technology affect pregnancy, birth, and child rearing?
How might full social equality affect childcare in the home and workplace?
How does a lack of social equality in a highly technological society affect pregnancy, birth, and childcare?
How about in a future culture with a highly evolved social order but low technology?
