Reviews
The stories Reproductive States tells bring us back to the connections between population policies and economic growth, and their relationship, in turn, to women ... The stories told in these chapters expose the racial, ethnic, religious, gender and class biases that shaped the establishment and implementation of each country's population policies. Mindy Jane Roseman, Women's Review of Books
In days gone by, these ten chapters on population policy in ten of the largest, most powerful countries on Earth all might have been contributed by men. This time, however, all the authors (including the coeditors) are women, in many cases from the countries they write about, and they take a decidedly feminist perspective in outlining how each country arrives at actionable population policies. For those concerned with the feminist political implications of population policies, this is a good summary of how some major nations have approached the issue. --E.
