Women of Color and the Reproductive Rights Movement
Autor Jennifer Nelsonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2003
Feminist Collections Jennifer Nelson tells the story of the feminist struggle for legal abortion and reproductive rights in the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s through the particular contributions of women of color. She explores the relationship between second-wave feminists, who were concerned with a woman's right to choose, Black and Puerto Rican Nationalists, who were concerned that Black and Puerto Rican women have as many children as possible "for the revolution," and women of color themselves, who negotiated between them. Contrary to popular belief, Nelson shows that women of color were able to successfully remake the mainstream women's liberation and abortion rights movements by appropriating select aspects of Black Nationalist politicsincluding addressing sterilization abuse, access to affordable childcare and healthcare, and ways to raise children out of povertyfor feminist discourse.
