Makes a clear and significant contribution to our understandings of reproductive politics. * Gender and Society * Offers readers a way to understand how neoliberalism's solutions run absolutely counter to social needs. * In These Times * Briggs concludes dramatically that 'in the US . . . there is no outside to reproductive politics.' Until governments and business pay attention to this, the crises of our time will only deepen-and not just in the US. * Times Higher Education Supplement * This engaging book covers feminist theory and how it views a divergence of issues since the 1970s. Excellent for collections on feminism, current affairs, and American politics. * Choice * Offers readers a way to understand how neoliberalism's solutions run absolutely counter to social needs. * Against the Current * Makes a convincing argument that reproductive labor is at the heart of all public conversation and policy over the past several decades. . . . She manages to pull off this extensive examination in just 212 pages, using language that is accessible to those who are new to the material, while also creating crucial new understanding for those who consider themselves informed on gender and politics and/or people who are examining ways to use public policies to create change as part of broader justice movements. * Rewire *
