Fit to Be Tied: Sterilization and Reproductive Rights in America, 1950-1980: Critical Issues in Health and Medicine
Autor Rebecca M. Kluchinen Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 mai 2009
The
1960s
revolutionized
American
contraceptive
practice.
Diaphragms,
jellies,
and
condoms
with
high
failure
rates
gave
way
to
newer
choices
of
the
Pill,
IUD,
and
sterilization.Fit
to
Be
Tiedprovides
a
history
of
sterilization
and
what
would
prove
to
become,
at
once,
socially
divisive
and
a
popular
form
of
birth
control.
During
the
first
half
of
the
twentieth
century,
sterilization
(tubal
ligation
and
vasectomy)
was
a
tool
of
eugenics.
Individuals
who
endorsed
crude
notions
of
biological
determinism
sought
to
control
the
reproductive
decisions
of
women
they
considered
"unfit"
by
nature
of
race
or
class,
and
used
surgery
to
do
so.
Incorporating
first-person
narratives,
court
cases,
and
official
records,
Rebecca
M.
Kluchin
examines
the
evolution
of
forced
sterilization
of
poor
women,
especially
women
of
color,
in
the
second
half
of
the
century
and
contrasts
it
with
demands
for
contraceptive
sterilization
made
by
white
women
and
men.
She
chronicles
public
acceptance
during
an
era
of
reproductive
and
sexual
freedom,
and
the
subsequent
replacement
of
the
eugenics
movement
with
"neo-eugenic"
standards
that
continued
to
influence
American
medical
practice,
family
planning,
public
policy,
and
popular
sentiment.

Recenzii
"InFit
to
Be
Tied,
Rebecca
Kluchin
impressively
navigates
a
critical
period
in
the
history
of
reproductive
health
in
America.Fit
to
Be
Tiedis
very
innovative
in
a
subtle
and
understated
way:
Kluchin
is
one
of
the
first
historians
of
gender
and
medicine
to
provide
a
sophisticated
framework
for
mapping
the
sterilization
practices
of
the
pre-World
War
II
period
into
the
post-Roe
V.
Wade
culture."
"InFit
to
be
Tied,
historian
Rebecca
Kluchin
offers
a
thoroughly
researched,
nuanced
analysis
of
sterilization,
reproductive
rights,
and
what
she
calls
'neo-eugenics.'
An
important
and
powerful
book
that
fills
a
critical
gap
in
the
literature
on
postwar
reproductive
rights."
"A
welcome
addition
to
the
history
of
sexuality,
birth
control,
medicine,
and
politics
in
the
US.
The
writing
is
compelling,
and
the
story
Kluchin
tells,
particularly
of
forced
sterilizations,
is
harrowing.
Highly
recommended."
"A compelling
and
original
account
of
eugenic
steralization.
This
study
adds
many
significant
strands
to
the
densely
interwoven
history
of
global
efforts
to
control
human
populations
and
regulate
reproduction."
"Kluchin
has
added
an
important
contribution
to
the
history
of
sterilization."
"Kluchin's
nuanced
and
thoughtful
study
shows
how
sterilization
was
too
often
foisted
upon
poor
women
of
color
to
reduce
economic
'dependency'
and
racial
'degeneracy'
while
too
often
denied
to
middle-class
white
women
who
hoped
to
secure
reliable,
permanent
contraception.Fit
to
Be
Tiedmakes
a
much-needed
contribution
to
our
historical
understanding
of
women's
never
ending
attempts
to
secure
reproductive
control.
It
is
a
terrific
and
important
book."
"Much
more
has
been
written
on
the
history
of
birth
control
and
abortion
than
on
the
history
of
sterilization
in
the
second
half
of
the
twentieth
century.
Kluchin's
excellent
study
fills
this
crucial
gap
in
the
scholarly
literature,
adding
breadth
and
depth
to
our
understanding
of
the
history
of
reproductive
rights
and
wrongs
in
America."
"Fit
to
Be
Tiedis
a
refreshing
and
vital
addition
to
the
history
of
reproductive
politics
and
sexuality
in
America.
Kluchin's
analysis
is
both
compelling
and
smart,
demonstrating
how
race
and
class
affected
reproductive
policy
and
practice
in
the
second
half
of
the
twentieth
century.
Her
composite
portrait
of
sterilization
is
particularly
interesting
and
important
because
it
assesses
both
those
who
were
victims
of
sterilization
abuse
and
those
who
fought
for
the
right
to
sterilization
as
a
contraceptive.
Such
a
study
is
long
overdue."
"Kluchin
should
be
congratulated
for
her
highly
readable,
well-researched
study
of
this
important,
but
largely
neglected
aspect
of
postwar
women's
health
history.
This
book
makes
a
valuable
contribution
to
the
literature
on
women's
studies,
social
policy,
and
the
history
of
medicine
and
public
health."
"Kluchin
has
produced
a
much-needed
study
of
the
social
and
legal
status
of
sterilization
from
the
1950s
through
the
1970s,
based
on
a
wealth
of
official
documents
and
archival
materials
and
featuring
the
voices
of
women
from
across
the
social
spectrum
who
were
adversely
affected.
Her
narrative
is
a
meticulous
and
compelling
account
of
the
legacies
of
negative
and
positive
eugenics
for
reproductive
politics
and
the
lives
of
American
women
differentially
marked
by
race,
ethnicity,
and
class."
