Summary

Feminists have long been divided on the issues raised by reproductive technologies. Are contraception, assisted conception, and antenatal intervention a source of liberation? Should they be rejected as anti-natural and anti-women? Or are these types of technological interventions merely another area where freedom of choice should be gender neutral? Based in part on her activist work in the United States, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, author Nancy Lublin focuses on the core principles of feminist theory and offers a new framework for creating public policy and social change in the name of gender justice.
