Embodying the Problem shows that the dominant narrative regarding teenage pregnancy perpetuates harmful discourses about women and sustains racialized gender ideologies that construct women's bodies as sites of national intervention and control. However, many women who embody the "problem" of teenage pregnancy actively resist this narrative by publishing their own stories.
