Award-winning journalist Michelle Goldberg shows how the emancipation of women has become the key human rights struggle of the twenty-first century in The Means of Reproduction.

Goldberg demonstrates how women's rights are key to addressing both overpopulation and rapid population decline, reducing world poverty, and retarding the spread of AIDS. Sweeping and ambitious, this is a must-read book for feminists, health and policy workers, and anyone concerned about the future of our world.

    I loved it!

    This is such and important topic Michelle Goldberg did such an incredible job. Whether you are talking about rape, abortion, female genital mutilation or women simply having the ability to support themselves - the point is for women to have the ability to make those choices. Forced abortions are just as bad as being denied an a abortion (even in cases such as an ectopic pregnancy).

    READ THIS BOOK!!

    This book explains the reasons for the pro choice movement. Even if a person is pro life, the option of having an abortion should never be taken away. It can mean life or death to thousands of women all over the world. Every man and woman should read this book, especially women though. It is our bodies that the religious fundamentalists are trying to control. I'm tired of it. Let's face it. Men dominate the churches and mosques, and have forever. We women need to stop them and say "Enough is enough." This book gives us the practical reasons why.
