politics of motherhood reading list

I am taking a Women's Studies course this semester to complete my certificate requirements. I purchased my books today, and I'm really excited about reading them. I want to share the list with you. I especially appreciate the diverse disciplines represented in the list--business, politics, science, sociology. It should make for interesting blog fodder.

Elizabeth A. Armstrong, Conceiving Risk, Bearing Responsibility: Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and the Diagnosis of Moral Disorder.
Alison Clarke-Stewart and Virginia D. Allhusen (eds.), What We Know About Childcare.
Ann Crittendon, The Price of Motherhood: Why the Most Important Job in the World Is Sill the Least Valued.
Dorothy Roberts, Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty.
Deborah Spar, The Baby Business: How Money, Science, and Politics Drive the Commerce of Conception. (This is the one I'm most anxious to read and, fortunately, the first on the schedule)
Joan Williams, Unbending Gender: Why Family and Work Conflict and What to Do about It.
