Birth control and feminism. 330 $aLinda Gordon's classic study, The Moral Property of Women, is the most complete history of birth control ever written. It covers the entire history of the intense controversies about reproductive rights that have raged in the United States for more than 150 years, from the earliest attempts of women to organize for the legal control of their bodies to the effects of second-wave feminism. Gordon defines the role that birth control has played in society's attitudes toward women, sexuality, and gender equality, arguing that reproductive control has always been central to women's status. She shows how opposition to it has long been part of the conservative opposition to gender equality. 517 3 $aHistory of birth control politics in America 606 $aBirth control$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aContraception 606 $aSexuality 606 $aReproductive Medicine 606 $aReproductive Rights 615 0$aBirth control$xHistory. 615 2$aContraception. 615 2$aSexuality. 615 2$aReproductive Medicine. 615 2$aReproductive Rights. 676 $a363.9/6/0973 700 $aGordon$b Linda$0789702 701 $aGordon$b Linda$0789702 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779469803321 996 $aThe moral property of women$93712045 997 $aUNINA
