Critics Review
“The author does a fine job laying out the legacy of queer reproductive justice movements, pointing out that queering reproductive justice requires caring, life-affirming communities that resist the violent constraints of normativity and uplift those whose lives are too often deemed disposable.”

This is possible, she suggests, because these communities have the seeds of a common vision of community and care, seeds that have come from both ancestral cultures and necessity.”
