Women's central role in reproductive and domestic work was swiftly reaffirmed, and abortion and IVF were newly debated. Taking Turkey as the case study, this is the first book to examine the various ways neoliberal modes of governing women's bodies interact with conservative and authoritarian measures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributions focus on reproduction, maternity and sexuality, to explore the three main areas of governmental interventions into the female body. Topics for discussion include: the expansion of IVF and egg markets, the privatization of gynaecological and obstetrical care, differential treatment of poor and ethnic minority women's fertility\/sexuality, and women's multiple responses to these shifts. While focusing on Turkey, the book presents analytical tools applicable under rising authoritarianisms and conservatisms worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hilal Alkan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0755617401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780755617401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e I.
