This book offers a feminist vision of reproductive health care in five developing countries and two developed ones on five continents. The author, a medical student and activist, interviewed over 90 women's rights activists, health professionals, NGO workers and government officials to get a sense of official policies and actual delivery of service in local clinics. The book examines women's access to sex education, maternity care, family planning and abortion, and analyses how much power women in diverse contexts have to negotiate sexual practices. This is addressed within the context of international population control agendas and the influence of discourse on reproductive health on the rights of women.

A Choice Outstanding Academic Book of 2006 Traveling alone when she was between 17 and 22, with no institutional affiliation and no financial assistance, the author visited five developing countries and two developed ones on five continents. Her goal was to extend her own experience in an abortion clinic in Portland, Oregon. Lara Knudsen interviewed over 90 women's rights activists, health professionals, NGO workers, and government officials, gaining a sense of both official policies and the actual delivery of services in local clinics. The book places the experiences of women within the global context of how international population control agendas have influenced women's reproductive rights in the past, and how the changing international discourse on reproductive health continues to influence those rights today.
