Hardback. Condición: Good. The revelatory history of how restricting access to abortion has been used to curtail women's advancement "Fissell is a gifted writer whose keen historical imagination animates her stories of women's struggle for reproductive control." --The Times Literary Supplement A Daily Telegraph Best Book of the Year Attitudes about abortion cycle between long periods of widespread tolerance, to repression, and back again. What accounts for these pendulum swings? From ancient Greece to the modern West, historian of medicine Mary Fissell argues, abortion repression springs up in response to men's anxieties about women's increasing independence. In Pushback, Fissell shows that, across centuries and continents, abortion has always been commonplace, and persecuting women for ending pregnancies has been about controlling their behavior. As Protestantism de-emphasized celibacy, new abortion restrictions policed unmarried women's sex lives. Nineteenth-century men unsettled by first-wave feminism hoped to establish medicine as a male profession, and so advocated for abortion bans to undercut women's new roles as physicians. Fissell presents this history through the hidden stories of women committed to reproductive self-determination: holy women of the early Catholic Church whose ability to end pregnancies was considered miraculous, midwives accused of witchcraft or criminal conspiracy, and everyday women whose pregnancies threatened their livelihoods--and their lives. Pushback is essential reading for understanding the complex history of abortion and making sense of recent crackdowns on reproductive rights.…

Hardback. Condición: New. A Daily Telegraph 'History Book of the Year'From classical Greece to Roe v. Wade, a long-overdue history of abortion.An ancient entertainer unable to work while pregnant; a medieval holy woman performing a 'miraculous termination'; a Reformation-era abortion provider prosecuted as a witch; a Victorian midwife saving her patients from the workhouse. Women have always sought to end pregnancies, and long succeeded. This book tells their stories.From enslaved and Indigenous herbal knowledge on Europe's colonial plantations to Planned Parenthood's unlikely alliance with postwar churches, Mary Fissell reveals abortion's long politics, tracing how Western societies have policed the practice--or chosen not to. For long periods in our past, abortion was widely tolerated by authorities and ordinary people, and far from straightforward in Christian morality: it was not a crime in Britain until 1803, nor a religious issue in America until the twentieth century.Whether in France, Scotland, Germany or Italy, abortion controls have always sprung from wider panics around social change--whether times of war, revolution and economic upheaval, or patriarchal anxiety about women's growing independence. As restrictions tighten once more, this vividly illuminating history reminds us that such repression never endures.…
