Product description
Review
A compelling and well-paced historical account that gives a good sense of the characters, places and politics of the abortion debate...this careful book alloows the reader to navigate a course through highly-politicised waters. ― The Economist.
Sara Dubow's work is interesting... [it] offers a new look at an issue that is yet to be picked up with this gusto outside the United States. ― Dr Vaidehi Nathan, The Organiser.
Hundreds of thousands of pages have been written about abortion but none so original as Sara Dubow's history of the fetus ― Linda Gordon, History Workshop Journal
a welcome addition to this field ― Tatjana Buklijas, Social History of Medicine
Dubow offers up an important contribution to the field, forcing the reader to contend both with why the fetus is such a fascinating topic for investigation and the deeper social tensions expressed in each conversation about the objects. ... this book stands as an important contribution to the field. ― Shannon K. Withycombe, Journal of the History of Medicine
