Recenzje

"Struggles over reproduction have rarely been more intense for women, communities, and institutions. Riley and Chatterjee combine rigor and creativity to connect real-world control and resistance with feminist works of speculative fiction. Their tour de force provokes profound reflection on current social life and possible future worlds."--Elizabeth Krause, University of Massachusetts, Amherst"Riley and Chatterjee provide a comprehensive overview of reproductive battles playing out locally and internationally, highlighting that reproductive control is about controlling women, but also about defining economic, political, and social boundaries. They insightfully analyze the interplay between the most intimate individual concerns and institutional and government structures."--Caitlin Killian, Drew University"I found this a fascinating book[. ... A] highly significant contribution to the sexual and reproductive health literature, giving a deep and nuanced overview of the subject."--Sexual and Reproductive Health Matters
