Reproductive Wrongs: A Short History of Bad Ideas About Women by Sarah Ruden
English | March 3rd, 2026 | ISBN: 1324075902 | 240 pages | True EPUB | 1.02 MB
A bracing feminist chronicle of the history of the West told through seven texts, exposing where our most virulent ideas about women came from.


The belief that granting women reproductive freedom poses a threat to "traditional" values is a dangerous myth that has long prospered in American politics, providing justification for increasing control over women's bodies and lives. How did such damaging ideas arise?
In Reproductive Wrongs, acclaimed translator and cultural historian Sarah Ruden exposes how ideologies that oppress women and families in the service of power took hold. Ruden traces a sweeping history through her trenchant analysis of seven pieces of literature that, she argues, marked key inflection points across two thousand years. From propagandistic poetry written by Ovid in the early Roman Empire to the biography of an evangelical American "abortion survivor," Ruden lays bare how doctrines of control over women were invented and propagated.
The New Testament's Pastoral Epistles introduced near-totalitarian measures to force childbearing in the early days of Christianity. In the late fifteenth century, The Hammer of Witches outlined a program that demonized women's fertility, justifying mass torture and killing. And Charles Dickens's The Chimes glorified the virtues of large families among the very poor, playing into their suffering and exploitation in industrialized Victorian Britain. Scathing and vital, Reproductive Wrongs unearths the evolution of a right-wing radicalism that endures to this day, when half of the US population is once again threatened with the loss of basic human rights and totalitarian law.
