Review # 1 was written on 2011-03-16 00:00:00 Barbara Gaynor As a young childfree woman, I was delighted to find this book, even if it only discusses womens' experiences of seeking sterilization in the UK. Although I found some of the book to be repetitive, the womens' stories were very powerful. The condescension these women suffered by the medical establishment was enough that I became angry as if the same thing had happened to me. They told of pregnancy scares, contraception problems and failures. Some of the stories are downright heartbreaking. In the end though, these women stood tall in their resolve and determination to remain childfree for all time. I walked away from the book having hope for my own future and the power to control it.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-12-28 00:00:00 Stan Frantz one of the few books (or even published works) available about sterilization, this book gave me the reassurance that i was not alone, and that my decision to become sterile was not tied to my sexuality. the study was conducted in G.B., and the element of socialized healthcare comes in quite a bit. i wish there were an equivalent text written in the united states.
