“The” Politics of Women's Biology

Front Cover
1 Review
Rutgers University Press, 1990 - Science - 229 pages
For a range of historical and contemporary issues in eugenics, human evolution, and procreative technology, Ruth Hubbard explains why scientific descriptions and choices should not generalize human, or female, attributes without acknowledging the realities of people's lives. Sophisticated in its analysis, yet not at all technical in its exposition, this book will find a wide readership among feminists, the general public, and the scientific community.

Review: The Politics of Women's Biology

User Review  - Cassandra - Goodreads

Reading it for uni...Hubbard is quite clever. In a nutshell, it gives you a good understanding of how and why most policy was / is shaped around "the bread-winner model". I'm amazed that this book is actually not on the reading list as it is very good especially if ur doing essay question 3! Read full review
