Reviews

Review of the original publication: ‘James Woycke provides a valuable account of how Germans decrease their fertility by 50% through resort to contraception, abortion, and sterilization. Drawing primarily on printed medical sources, he argues that advances in medical knowledge and technology were major factors in the movement to demographic modernity. Woycke’s German sources suggest many strong parallels among national birth control movements. It is now clear that the 19th century was the great age of technological innovation in the history of contraception.’ - Isis, Volume 80, Number 4
