Lasting from 1979 to 2015, China's One Child Policy is often
remembered as one of the most ambitious social engineering projects
to date and considered emblematic of global efforts to regulate
population growth during the twentieth century. Drawing on a rich
combination of archival research and oral history, Sarah Mellors
Rodriguez analyses how ordinary people, particularly women,
navigated China's shifting fertility policies before and during the
One Child Policy era. She examines the implementation and reception
of these policies and reveals that they were often contradictory
and unevenly enforced, as men and women challenged, reworked, and
co-opted state policies to suit their own needs. By situating the
One Child Policy within the longer history of birth control and
abortion in China, Reproductive Realities in Modern China exposes
important historical continuities, such as the enduring reliance on
abortion as contraception and the precariousness of state control
over reproduction.
