hotskeletonwinter 's review for:
The Farm
by Joanne Ramos
This wasn’t the horror book I thought it might be. But it asks, what happens when we don’t value the lives and dreams of women, instead placing more value on their capability to reproduce? Themes of class, race, capitalism, misogyny. I think this is an important read considering the fall of Roe, continuous abortion bans, and now the threats of losing contraception and IVF too.
However, it should be remembered that the white supremacist vision is not one that would include women of color simply for pro-natalism, but to fill in for a free labor force (think back to days of slavery in America); ie, capitalism. White women, while kept under oppression, would still have privileges and benefit from a heavy hand of patriarchy, just as they always have.
