The Moral Property of Women: A History of Birth Control Politics in America by Linda Gordon
3.5
the prose is good though with the size of the text I often found myself skimming the paragraphs. I would have preferred bigger text even if that would have meant that the book would have been longer.
very informative book; though while I understand that this a book about the mainstream (middle class white women) birth control movement, I do wish the book would have mentioned more about the simultaneous reproductive autonomy movements led women of color (there’s a mention about the Black Women’s group from Mt. Vernon NY and their birth control manifesto in one of the latter chapters of the book). Still, I learned a lot from this book.
