Summary: Short, bitter, and thought-provoking
Comment: Whenever I see a good book consigned to a two-star rating on the basis of one review, I feel the need to step in and add my two cents. Well, at least I think it's a good book. It is also a quick read. I would call it short and sweet, but it might be more accurate to call it short and bitter, since the author is definitely riled up about her subject.

The subject is reproductive issues. Unlike other books and articles, which usually deal with one issue at a time, _The Wandering Uterus_ looks at the interconnections, revealing that issues don't exist in a vacuum. Think about this: Are you pro-choice? Do you also believe in prosecuting women who use drugs when they're pregnant? See the contradiction, when you look more closely? We learn, from this book, that whenever the female body becomes the subject of political debate, we need to keep our eyes open for hidden agendas. None of these issues are as simple as they look.

Unless you're very interested in the subject, you might want to buy this used, or get it from the library, but certainly it's worth reading.

Summary: good, but narrow at times
Comment: this was a good book which interestingly brought up many good issues such as infertility issues, but got very technical and dry with those issues. at the same time, a chapter focused on reproductive rights issues in the workplace and only focused on one of many aspects that could have been interestingly presented. this was used as a book in my women's studies class. i do not strongly reccomend.
