Now in paperback, The Moral Property of Women is a thoroughly updated and revised version of the awardwinning historian Linda Gordon's classic study, Woman's Body, Woman's Right (1976). It is the only book to cover the entire history of the intense controversies about reproductive rights that have raged in the United States for more than 150 years. Arguing that reproduction control has always been central to women's status, Gordon shows how opposition to it has long been part of the entrenched opposition to gender equality.

''Myriad brilliant books and articles on the history of contraception and abortion have appeared during the past decade, but none offers as comprehensive an overview, as wide-ranging and invigorating a historical analysis. '' The Historian ''Gordon joins political astuteness with historical wisdom to map an inclusive, coherent, instructive narrative of the strange and winding path of birth control advocacy and opposition.'' Nancy F. Cott, Jonathan Turnbull Professor of American History, Harvard University
