Southampton's Women: by Magda Segal
Magda Segal
The photographs featured on the following pages are taken from Southampton's Women, a collection of photographs of the daily lives of young women in the city of Southampton in the south of England taken by Magda Segal. The images, of women, their daily lives and the intimacy of their fridges, were taken to complement the Southampton Women's Survey, a study of the diet, health and lifestyles of women aged 2034 years. The study is assessing the influence of factors before and during pregnancy on the growth of the fetus. It forms part of the wider programme of work investigating the effects of the fetal environment on health outcomes in later life, known to epidemiologists as the Fetal Origins Hypothesis. Thanks to Magda Segal for permission to reproduce the images.
Southampton's Women is published by the Medical Research Council Environmental Epidemiology Unit in 2000 (University of Southampton) ISBN 0 901723 25 8.
