Blistering . . . A Brisk And Bracing Work Of Cultural History Fueled By RudenS Righteous Indignation And Filigreed With Her Witty Literary Criticism. Jennifer Szalai, New York Times Book Reviewa Bracing Feminist Chronicle Of The History Of The West Told Through Seven Texts, Exposing Where Our Most Virulent Ideas About Women Came From.The Belief That Granting Women Reproductive Freedom Poses A Threat To Traditional Values Is A Dangerous Myth That Has Long Prospered In American Politics, Providing Justification For Increasing Control Over WomenS Bodies And Lives. How Did Such Damaging Ideas Arise?In Reproductive Wrongs, Acclaimed Translator And Cultural Historian Sarah Ruden Exposes How Ideologies That Oppress Women And Families In The Service Of Power Took Hold. Ruden Traces A Sweeping History Through Her Trenchant Analysis Of Seven Pieces Of Literature That, She Argues, Marked Key Inflection Points Across Two Thousand Years. From Propagandistic Poetry Written By Ovid In The Early Roman Empire To The Biography Of An Evangelical American Abortion Survivor, Ruden Lays Bare How Doctrines Of Control Over Women Were Invented And Propagated.The New TestamentS Pastoral Epistles Introduced NearTotalitarian Measures To Force Childbearing In The Early Days Of Christianity. In The Late Fifteenth Century, The Hammer Of Witches Outlined A Program That Demonized WomenS Fertility, Justifying Mass Torture And Killing. And Charles DickensS The Chimes Glorified The Virtues Of Large Families Among The Very Poor, Playing Into Their Suffering And Exploitation In Industrialized Victorian Britain. Scathing And Vital, Reproductive Wrongs Unearths The Evolution Of A RightWing Radicalism That Endures To This Day, When Half Of The Us Population Is Once Again Threatened With The Loss Of Basic Human Rights And Totalitarian Law.
