Reviews
"One of Mishtal's most important contributions is her analysis of the gendering of biopolitics in Poland and the ways the Catholic Church has undertaken a politics of morality based on individual surveillance and political intimidation. Methodologically sophisticated, innovative, and refreshingly free of jargon, this is an important work." --Michele Rivkin-Fish, author of Women's Health in Post-Soviet Russia: The Politics of Intervention, "One of the many strengths of Mishtal's study is that she doesn't just describe a top-down model of power--she also focuses on everyday women of different economic classes and how they negotiated the legal and cultural restrictions on abortion and contraceptives.... I have been raving about this book to anyone who will listen."-- Cosmopolitan Review, "Mishtal's book is a compelling and horrifying account of how Polish institutions intervened and gained command over women's lives, and how women have been losing control over who will have access to their bodies and the circumstances that warrant that access. A must-read for all who are interested in one of the most contested aspects of transformational politics in Poland--reproductive rights." --Joanna Regulska, coeditor of Women and Gender in Postwar Europe: From Cold War to European Union, "This excellent, insightful ethnography contributes important analysis to studies on Poland's most recent history as well as anthropology of reproduction and women's studies. Since 'Poland is emblematic of the pivotal role of gender in nation-making (197),' it is also the must-read book for scholars and students interested in gender studies."-- Social Anthropology, "One of the many strengths of Mishtal's study is that she doesn't just describe a top-down model of power--she also focuses on everyday women of different economic classes and how they negotiated the legal and cultural restrictions on abortion and contraceptives. ... I have been raving about this book to anyone who will listen." -- Cosmopolitan Review, "Refreshingly incisive ... A compelling ethnographic account... Mishtal's book will interest scholars of feminist activism, political transitions, and political religion as well as anthropologists of Poland and of reproduction. Her very accessible prose makes this book suitable for a wide audience, including undergraduates."-- Anthropologica, "This is the book I have been waiting for. ... Meticulously researched and beautifully written ... The rich data, critical yet balanced analysis, and comprehensive historical and cultural background all create an invaluable insight into the female experience in twenty-first-century Poland....This is by far the best book about women in Poland I have ever read."--Marta Trzebiatowska, Journal of Contemporary Religion, "One of Mishtal's most important contributions is her analysis of the gendering of biopolitics in Poland and the ways the Catholic Church has undertaken a politics of morality based on individual surveillance and political intimidation. Methodologically sophisticated, innovative, and refreshingly free of jargon, this is an important work."--Michele Rivkin-Fish, author of Women's Health in Post-Soviet Russia: The Politics of Intervention

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
