This is the first book to definitively focus on reproductive justice, although the work of SisterSong, Loretta Ross, etc. is familiar to anyone interested in similar issues. As such, it acts as both the primary resource and an essential reader for this theoretical framework, and will be a must-have especially for classrooms interested in these debates.

In an increasingly conservative global political climate, the centering of historically marginalized communities should be a necessary consideration for any new progressive or socially conscious book. As a collection of academic work by working-class women of color, for working-class women of color, this anthology is not only groundbreaking in its analysis but an important part of any collection interested in reproductive rights or human rights issues.

Although academic in language and scope, the topics discussed in the book are very much a part of mainstream media discussions. General interest in the topic will continue with the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade, the #BlackLivesMatter movement, and the growing recognition of Black feminist theory, especially in online activist spaces.
