Conclusion and epilogue.ReviewsAdvance praise: 'MacNamara engages meaningfully with scholarship about birth control and demography outside of the United States, and animates this intellectual history with people, stories, and places that we don't normally associate with the history of ideas or with the history of birth control.' Karissa Haugeberg, Tulane University, New Orleans Advance praise: 'MacNamara has tackled a difficult topic - unpacking public opinion on a topic that wasn't much discussed in public, and he has skillfully found evidence in a wide variety of sources.' Cathy Moran Hajo, Ramapo College, New Jersey 'MacNamara engages meaningfully with scholarship about birth control and demography outside of the United States, and animates this intellectual history with people, stories, and places that we don't normally associate with the history of ideas or with the history of birth control.' Karissa Haugeberg, Tulane University, New Orleans 'MacNamara has tackled a difficult topic - unpacking public opinion on a topic that wasn't much discussed in public, and he has skillfully found evidence in a wide variety of sources.' Cathy Moran Hajo, Ramapo College, New Jersey 'MacNamara's book goes against the grain of the usual scholarship on the history of birth control: it de-privileges the surface noise - of women's rights activists, vocal eugenicists or Darwinists, of intellectuals in general - to plumb the half-conscious thoughts of ordinary citizens ... MacNamara could hardly have tackled a more contentious subject, but he does so with detached aplomb ... Ever so politely, he is attacking several sacred cows of the traditional feminist scholarship.' Michele Pridmore-Brown, The Times Literary Supplement Advance praise: 'MacNamara engages meaningfully with scholarship about birth control and demography outside of the United States, and animates this intellectual history with people, stories, and places that we don't normally associate with the history of ideas or with the history of birth control.'
