Editorial Reviews

New York Times Book Review
Demonstrates that the controversy derives its intensity not from differences of ideology or religion but from the radically antithetical social circumstances of the combatants. The abortion debate is unlikely to find a more intelligent or compassionate chronicler.

Marion S. Goldman, American Journal of Sociology
"One of the most important sociology books of the decade. In addressing crucial public policy issues in an engrossing and accessible manner, she has attracted an attentive audience that extends far beyond academic sociology."
