History/Military Pregnancy and Power: A Short History of Reproductive Politics in America.

More Rickie Solinger, "Pregnancy and Power: A Short History of Reproductive Politics in America". A sweeping chronicle of women's battles for reproductive freedom throughout American History, Pregnancy and Power explores the many forcesa€"social, racial, economic, and politicala€"that have shaped women's reproductive lives in the United States.Leading historian Rickie Solinger argues that a woman's control over her body involves much more than the left to choose an abortion. Reproductive politics were at play when slaveholders devised breeding schemes, when nineteenth-century employers restricted women's work hours,and when doctors pressed African American women to be sterilized in the 1960s. Pregnancy and Power is filled with powerful accounts of the fights various groups of women waged in this country to control their bodies and their destinies, from colonial anti-miscegenation laws to anti-contraceptive laws to the 1990s welfare reforms that punished poor women for having children.Solinger asks which women have how many children under what circumstances, and shows how reproductive experiences have been encouraged or coerced, rewarded or punished, honored or exploited over the last 250 years. Viewed in this way, the debate over reproductive rights raises questions about access to sex education and prenatal care, about housing laws, about access to citizenship, and about which women lose children to adoption and foster care.
