Description
"In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs, Rebecca Rodriguez Carey's book offers a stark reminder that women who are incarcerated or otherwise under carceral supervision have never enjoyed reproductive rights and freedoms. It should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand gender, reproduction, and pregnancy in a post-Roe world." - Jill McCorkel, author of Breaking Women: Gender, Race, and the New Politics of Imprisonment "A significant contribution to understanding the reproductive rights and bodily autonomy of women at the margins of society. The book's stories of 'pregnancy behind bars' are vivid and compelling, featuring maternal experience organizationally embedded in a 'web of control' contrary to personal well-being, which is countered by some with hope and resilience. A welcome addition to narrative criminology." - Jaber F. Gubrium, author of Analyzing Narrative Reality
