ADVANCE PRAISe for THE MEANS OF REPRODUCTION "We know how to radically improve women's lives around the world: give them education, power, and the liberty to control of their own bodies. We also know something even more important: that improving women's lives in this way makes the whole world better place—healthier, more prosperous, and more secure. Michelle Goldberg's sweeping saga about how this consensus came about, and the tragic impediments to putting it into practice, may be the most important book you'll ever read about the future of the human race." –Rick Perlstein author of Nixonland: The Rise of a President and the Fall of the American Consensus
Goldberg's book is more than a scrupulously researched chronicle of the brutalities inflicted on women throughout the underdeveloped world by the determination of antedeluvian religious institutions, and governments that protect them, to control female bodies. What this book demonstrates convincingly is that there can be no economic progress in any country that denies women basic human rights, and that women cannot exercise their human rights if they cannot determine when to have sex, whether or when to marry, and how many children they have. Ms. Goldberg's message is that the repression of women lies at the heart of all oppressive societies" –Susan Jacoby, author of The age of American Unreason
“The Means of Reproduction is a bold and vital book, a story about life and those who twist that word to front for agendas of sexual control around the world. We're lucky that we have Michelle Goldberg, a brilliant and clear-eyed journalist, to bring us news of how the struggle over reproductive rights has gone global, as the American Right teams up with reactionary forces abroad. Goldberg calls it one of the most important fights of our time; after you read The Means of Reproduction, you will, too. A landmark book.” — Jeff Sharlet, New York Times bestselling author of The Family
PRAISe for Kingdom coming –Katha Pollitt, columnist, The Nation ; author, Virginity or Death! : And Other Social and Political Issues of Our Time – Joe Conason, author of The Hunting of the President, Big Lies, and The Raw Deal
“Kingdom Coming reveals just how thoroughly our national discourse has been corrupted by the mad work of religious literalists. Goldberg demonstrates — elegantly and persuasively— that tens of millions of our neighbors are working each day to obliterate the separation between church and state, to supplant scientific rationality with Iron Age fantasies, and to achieve a Christian theocracy in the 21st century. This is a terrifying and necessary book.” –Sam Harris, author, The End of Faith
– Paul Berman, author of Terror and Liberalism and Power and the Idealists |
