Editorials

CHOICE

Lublin presents a concise, constructive study of the question, Is technological reproductive intervention a friend or foe of women? . . . This volume offers a clearly presented, well-documented source to inspire debate and further study regarding the social change affiliated with reproductive technology.

Medical Humanities Review

Nancy Lublin's clear and insightful text truly does open the Pandora's box associated with reproductive technologies . . . I strongly recommend this book as an addition to any undergraduate, graduate, or medical library.
— Rosemarie Tong

Religious Studies Review

Lublin's creative recasting of material feminism as praxis feminism constitutes an intriguing addition to feminist discussions of reproductive technology. A thought-provoking read in feminist bioethics.
— Ryan J. Sauder, University of Pittsburgh

Reproductive Health Matters

It should be read from cover to cover, including the notes, by everyone concerned about technological intervention in the womb.

Signs

It serves to illustrate both the importance and the challenges of breaking out of feminist academic cirlcles with books that cross over to a larger trade audience, and it is sure to generate more debate on these critical issues.

Signs: Journal Of Women In Culture & Society

Sociological Abstracts

Reviews conventional feminist paradigms in developing a framework for interpreting new reproductive technologies. It is concluded that a real feminism dialogue about gender justice is needed so that the diaspora of feminist theories can become a strength rather than a weakness of feminist practice.

The Buffalo News

Ms. Lublin, a young feminist theorist, makes a compelling case for expanding the constitutional protection of reproductive rights to embrace the equal protection clause and for encouraging state intervention to create universal free reproductive health care—all while guaranteeing women's autonomy.
