No rating yet(0 reviews)Rebecca M Kluchin All Books listing sku-10822888 is the hardcover Critical Issues in Health and Medicine: Fit to Be Tied: Sterilization and Reproductive Rights in America, 1950-1980. Kluchin describes how American contraception changed in the 1960s as the Pill, IUD and sterilization gained ground over diaphragms, jellies and condoms with high failure rates.
She traces tubal ligation and vasectomy from their use in eugenics to sterilization's growing acceptance. Drawing on first-person accounts, court cases and official records, she examines forced sterilization of poor women, especially women of color, alongside white women's and men's demands for contraceptive sterilization.
The book also follows how neo-eugenic standards continued to affect medical practice, family planning, public policy and popular opinion.
