Abstract
The Routledge Companion to Gender and Reproduction provides an in-depth approach to issues of gender and reproductive justice from a wide variety of countries and perspectives, with particular attention to the range of reproductive injustices that flow from racism and sexism. This collection provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the current issues surrounding gender and procreation. Topics addressed within these chapters include feminist history and reproductive rights, reproductive care, midwifery, obstetric violence, trans pregnancy, abortion, IVF, LGBTQ inclusive maternity care, obstetric racism, gender, and parenting from a diverse range of disciplines including anthropology, sociology, history, and midwifery. The Routledge Companion to Gender and Reproduction provides an urgent and necessary overview of research in these areas, and is an essential resource for those studying these topics as well as practitioners.
