Reproductive Justice: A Global Concern reflects and documents the maturation of an emerging perspective into a subfield. It should be widely read, used in teaching, and celebrated as an example of how psychology can be fully attentive to social structures and contexts, as well as contribute to understanding and addressing important social issues arising in women's most private and personal experiences worldwide. * PsycCRITIQUES *
