The Politics
ojReproduction
Mary O'Brien
'Mary O'Brien's critique of de Beauvoir, Millett, Rowbotham, Reed,
Arendt, strikes me as eminently fair and relevant. She is convincing
in her demonstration of the parochialism of male political theory to
date and of the need for correcting it by including female experience
on the basis of the interdiSCiplinary approach. The book is feminist
but not "feminine." Its scholarship and erudition are impeccable.'
-Jessie Bernard
This book focuses centrally on the nature and difference of male and
female experience of biological reproduction, and upon the impact of
male reproductive experience on the theory and practice of politics.

psychoanalysis and literary criticism. $20.00
