- Description
- While the significance of motherhood varies across cultures, it is connected to religion, nationality, gender, and sexuality. Reproduction is central to the perceived floroushing of any nation or culture, and thus motherhood is a major signifier of the connections between women and the state. States enact laws limiting who can bear children, initiating and supporting mass sterilization efforts, legislate access to assisted reproductive technologies, adoption, and government support for parenting. .The guiding theoretical idea in this volume is that motherhood matters in global politics. By illuminating and interrogating representations and narratives of maternity, this volume shows how practices of global politics shape and are shaped by the gendered norms and institutions that underpin motherhood. Featuring innovative and intersectional interrogations of the politics of motherhood as an institution, this collection shows that maternality is troubled, complicated, and heterogeneous in global politics.

- Description
- The author uses economic analysis to consider how individuals change their behavior when abortion access increases. By comparing abortion to a form of insurance he argues that abortion provides protection from downside risk. A pregnant woman who would otherwise give birth to an unwanted child has the option to abort. On the other hand, the availability of this option may increase the likelihood of a pregnancy in the first place. He suggests that the manner in which individuals change their behavior depends on the extent to which abortion is accessible.

- Description
- The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is one of the most important human rights tools ever created. Adopted in 1979 by the United Nations General Assembly, it is often described as an international bill of rights for women. These essays and personal reflections, from individuals who have served on the committee that monitors CEDAW, introduce readers to the issues and the activism. .Only a handful of countries have refused to ratify CEDAW: the United States is the only industrialized country among them. This book reveals the profound impact the convention has had on women's lives around the world and its potential to affect American women. With examples and moving reminiscences from Japan to Tunisia to the Caribbean and beyond, this collection addresses CEDAW's impact on women in Islam, labor markets, migration, violence against women, human trafficking, women in politics, and more.
