The means of reproduction: Sex, power, and the future of the world by Michelle Goldberg

This book retraces the historicity of women's reproductive rights in several parts of the world and brings it to the center of her investigation. Focusing on sensitive issues such as abortion, control over women's fertility and circumcision in developing countries, the author contextualizes her study on women's oppression, through the control of their body in both economic and political domains. The book reveals, through a thorough analysis, what are the social and political implications of controlling and oppressing women's means of reproduction.
