Abstract Details

2013, M.A. (Master of Arts in Liberal Studies), Ohio Dominican University, Liberal Studies.
This study examines the relationship between fertility intentions and fertility successes and its effect on a woman s female identity and the meanings and standards she associates with that identity. Two groups completed an online survey; one group of eight women has been successful in having children while the other group of four has been unsuccessful in conceiving for over a year. The study found that women who have been successful conceiving have more of a balanced identity standard comprised of femininity and masculinity than women who have been unsuccessful for over a year. It was also found that the women who have been unsuccessful conceiving have much less consistency among their gender identities as a group than the group who has been successful.
