Description
This thoroughly updated and revised version of Gordon's classic history Woman's Body, Woman's Right, (originally published in 1976) is the only book to cover the entire history of birth control and the intense controversies about reproduction rights that have raged in the United States for more than 150 years. Arguing that reproduction control has always been central to women's status, Gordon shows how opposition to it has long been part of the conservative opposition to gender equality.
