A Choice Outstanding Academic Book of 2006

Traveling alone when she was between 17 and 22, with no institutional affiliation and no financial assistance, the author visited five developing countries and two developed ones on five continents. Her goal was to extend her own experience in an abortion clinic in Portland, Oregon. Lara Knudsen interviewed over 90 women's rights activists, health professionals, NGO workers, and government officials, gaining a sense of both official policies and the actual delivery of services in local clinics. The book places the experiences of women within the global context of how international population control agendas have influenced women's reproductive rights in the past, and how the changing international discourse on reproductive health continues to influence those rights today.

Acknowledgments
I am particularly indebted to the eighty or so individuals in seven countries who so graciously offered their time and thoughtful opinions to me. I was between seventeen and twentyone years old as I conducted this research, with little institutional affiliation or authority, yet these people were still kind enough to grant me personal interviews and to devote serious attention to my many questions. Without their willingness, this book would not have been pos sible. They are the following:
