Summary

"The question of Greek women's ready use of abortion and their 'failure' to use other methods of birth control is one that for some time has intrigued anthropologists. Alexandra Halkias offers provocative arguments regarding the 'naturalness' of abortion and the relationship between sexuality and national identity."--Jill Dubisch, author of "In a Different Place: Pilgrimage, Gender, and Politics at a Greek Island Shrine"

Author Biography

Alexandra Halkias is a lecturer in sociology at Panteion University, Greece.
