Sexuality, Family Planning, and Reproduction, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

The history of sexuality, family planning, and reproduction in Central and Eastern Europe sounds out the historical dimensions across a broad field where human biology, medicine, policy, and government social programmes intersect with fundamental conceptions of desired or feared social developments. From contraception to representations of motherhood, and controversies over reproductive rights, using the example of the historically changing political, social, cultural and scientific interconnections in Central and Eastern Europe, the contributors to this volume invite reflections on historical developments that open new perspectives for the 21st century.
