About this book
Reviews
—Lourdes Benería, Professor Emerita, Cornell University, USA
“This is a book that all seeking a path beyond the present reproductive crisis should read. It is an inspiring account of the many ways in which women in the global south are organizing to valorize their work, support their communities and create alternatives to dependence on the state and the market.”
—Silvia Federici, Professor Emerita, Hofstra University, USA
