"A truly impressive collection of ideas and research to help make sense of the ever-changing landscape in reproductive health, rights, and justice amid state attempts at coercion and control. A much-needed update to the first edition that should live on everyone's bookshelf."Krystale E. Littlejohn, Associate Professor of Sociology and author of Just Get on the Pill: The Uneven Burden of Reproductive Politics"A collection of great value not only to teachers, not only to anyone concerned with women's ability to be full citizens in a democracy, but also to anyone concerned with today's powerful right-wing attacks on health and family wellbeing. It includes the very best thinking on these issues available today." Linda Gordon, Professor Emeirita of History, New York University, and author of The Moral Property of Women: A History of Birth Control Politics in America"Joffe and Reich have performed a brilliant act of intellectual beneficence. This one volume collects an extraordinary set of insights and analyses, facilitating a rich understanding the contours and content of reproductive politics today. Since dipping into Reproduction and Society once, I have returned to it again and again." Rickie Solinger, Independent hstorian, and author of Reproductive Politics: What Everyone Needs to Know"This book is a timely and praiseworthy compilation of articles spanning 50 years that explore the dialectic between private reproduction and public policy. Because the control and manipulation of women's bodies are as much a matter of culture and politics as about biology, teaching about the complexity of reproductive politics is never easy. Pedagogical attempts are more difficult due to the lack of aggregated materials accessibly written for both professors and students. This book contributes substantially to the scholarship on reproductive politics, and is impressive for its diversity and breadth of contributors."Loretta J. Ross, Former National Coordinator of SisterSong and Associate Professor of the Study of Women & Gender, Smith College"In this exciting new interdisciplinary collection, two leading scholars of reproduction assemble essential readings on contraception, abortion, pregnancy, and birth. Informative, nuanced essays introduce students to the intersecting politics of reproduction, demonstrating that these biological processes are also fundamentally social. Reproduction and Society will be a valuable addition to courses on family, gender, sexuality, technology, health, and medicine."Rene Almeling, Professor of Sociology, Yale University, and author of GUYnecology The Missing Science of Men’s Reproductive Health"This anthology is a magnificently curated selection of articles essential to understanding our Post-Dobbs World. It is a vital resource and should be used by all those interested in learning why it is not possible to regulate abortion without regulating the people who need and have them."Lynn Paltrow, founder, Pregnancy Justice (formerly National Advocates for Pregnant Women)
