Excellent Book

Gena Corea is a prolific radical feminist thinker whose caustic work can be categorized as polemic to the male status quo especially regarding healthcare and more particularly reproductive technologies. She is a breath of fresh air in a system that claims to, but dares not think of women as equal members of society. Corea unveils the social biases that surround reproduction and her contribution is a direct attack on sexism.Her writings led to the inspiration and completion of my graduate thesis. For that, I thank her.Thank you for your time.

very interesting

What first draw my attention was the title and the cover of this book. I found in it many ideas that hadn't crossed my mind. And though this book was written more than a decade ago, it is amazing to realize how "in" some of the expressed ideas, for example cloning, are. Since I translated parts of the book into greek I would be very interested to communicate with the author Gena Corea and learn more about her work. Thank you for sharing my thoughts.
