With the rigor of a dedicated scholar and the passion of a
committed activist, Nancy Lublin offers a fresh perspective on the
ethical dimensions of providing and using reproductive
technologies, including contraception, assisted conception, and
antenatal and childbirth interventions. Combining feminist
philosophy and legal theory, Lublin considers these issues under a
single category that she calls 'technological intervention in the
womb.' She addresses the positions of technophiles (who advocate
acceptance of technological intervention in the womb as a source of
liberation), technophobic feminists (who reject artificial
invasions as anti-natural and anti-women), and other feminists who
have argued that technological intervention in the womb should be
legal and available to women because freedom of choice should be
gender-neutral. Lublin identifies core principles that are common
to a kaleidoscope of feminist theories, and she argues that a
materialist feminism provides the most effective framework for
establishing public policy and creating social change in the name
of gender justice.
