As the mother of 15 children—more than half conceived and incubated in artificial wombs—she becomes a national icon, celebrated as “Mother America.” After her death, “Mother America” becomes the very symbol of the country, displacing Uncle Sam, reflecting the United States’ changed position in global affairs.
