Women, Earth, and the Limits of Control: Fertile Ground

Provocative. . . . Assumes passion and authority. -Janet Lembke, The New York Times Book Review"Irene Diamond offers her readers a provocative series of musings on a vital, but largely unexplored, concept: fertility. . . . Diamond's scope is wide-ranging, addressing reproductive technologies, agriculture, pornography, development and death, yet her work also has a highly personal quality. . . . As an intuitive foray, Fertile Ground sows many new seeds." -Karen Litfin, The Ecologist "Irene Diamond's Fertile Ground is a provocative book. It stirs me to vigorous assent. It also triggers wide-eyed disbelief. . . . As it prods me to explosions of disagreement, it also provokes useful thought." -Janet Lembke, The New York Times Book Review"One of the most provocative and original feminist books in years. . . . Diamond poses important questions and breaks ground for new thought about them." -Pat Monaghan, Booklist
