The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power, and the Future of the World

Product Description

Michelle Goldberg, award-winning New York Times columnist, exposes a global battle over reproductive rights that has profound consequences for both individual lives and worldwide development.

Women's rights are often treated as mere appendages to great questions of war, peace, poverty, and development. But, in The Means of Reproduction, bestselling author and award-winning journalist Michelle Goldberg reveals how the politics of sex and childbearing play a crucial role in determining the fate of nations and individuals - regardless of gender.

Deeply reported across four continents, the book examines issues such as access to abortion, female circumcision, and Asia's missing girls to show how the battle over women's bodies has been globalized. Goldberg powerfully demonstrates how the emancipation of women holds the key to addresing both overpopulation and population decline, reducing world poverty, and slowing the spread of AIDS. 

Sweeping and ambitious, this is a must-read book for feminists, health and policy workers, and anyone concerned about the future of our world.
