"Feminism and the Politics of Reproduction" is a book written by Mary O'Brien and published in 1981. The book is a feminist critique of the ways in which the politics of reproduction has been used to control and oppresses women.
In "Feminism and the Politics of Reproduction," O'Brien argues that the ways in which society regulates reproduction, including through laws and policies on abortion, birth control, and maternal health, are rooted in patriarchal attitudes and serve to reinforce traditional gender roles and maintain women's inequality. She contends that reproductive freedom is necessary for women to achieve equality and control over their own bodies and lives. The book covers a range of topics including the history of reproductive rights, the impact of patriarchal attitudes on reproductive health and rights, and the role of feminism in challenging the politics of reproduction.
O'Brien's book was groundbreaking in that it highlighted the ways in which the politics of reproduction has been used to control and oppress women and helped to pave the way for the development of feminist critiques of reproductive rights and justice. The book was widely read and discussed in academic circles and has had a significant impact on the field of feminist studies and reproductive rights movement.
