The Making of Our Bodies, Ourselves in The Nation

Kathy Davis's The Making of Our Bodies, Ourselves, is reviewed by Linda Gordon in The Nation. Gordon uses the occasion of the publication of Davis's "excellent" book to examine the impact the feminist classic Our Bodies, Ourselves has had across the world. Gordon concludes, " Improving health for the poor is as likely to produce progressive change as any other strategy, because health activism these days requires challenging the world's most powerful and destructive forces. Matters of the body are politically fundamental. If Our Bodies, Ourselves contributed even in a small way to activating women globally, American feminists can feel proud."
