Wojny reprodukcyjne. Płeć, władza a przyszłość świata by Michelle Goldberg

5.0

An excellent book that covers the history of the international reproductive rights movement. Goldberg covers such topics as abortion, female genital mutilation, birth control, population control, family planning, family-friendly policy, and more. She did extensive research, including interviews of the key players. She looks at the important role that women's rights play in improving the lives of women and men in developing countries. She also describes how the United States has been a been a driving force on both sides of the debate.

The book is a fantastic overview of the issues as well as a call to further action. It is hard to deny Goldberg's thesis that the more power women have over their own lives, the better off everyone (women and men) will be. As she says, "there is no force for good on the planet as powerful as the liberation of women."
