SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book situates North Carolina's reproductive politics in a national and global context. It demonstrates how each method for limiting unwanted pregnancies had the potential both to expand and to limit women's reproductive choices. Schoen's study allows deeper understandings of the modern welfare state and the lives of women.
