Why Women Freeze Their Eggs with Professor Marcia C. Inhorn

Ask a Matchmaker

Why are women freezing their eggs in record numbers? Talking about this important subject this week is Professor Marcia C. Inhorn. She is a Professor of Anthropology and International Affairs at Yale University and author of Cosmopolitan Conceptions: IVF Sojourns in Global Dubai.

Her new book, Motherhood on Ice: The Mating Gap and Why Women Freeze Their Eggs, explores this question by drawing on the stories of more than 150 women who pursued fertility preservation technology. Moving between narratives of pain and empowerment, these nuanced personal stories reveal the complexity of women’s lives as they struggle to preserve and extend their fertility.
