Between Families and Frankenstein - The Politics of Egg Donation in the United States

"Erin Heidt-Forsythe’s book is a substantive contribution to the fields of gender and politics, health policy, morality policy and public policy more generally. This timely and accessible book will be useful for a broad audience of scholars, undergraduates, and non-academics. With its focus on egg donation policy in lieu of more commonly studied reproductive health topics, the book is a genuinely novel addition to the gender and reproductive health literature." —Rebecca Kreitzer, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

“Heidt-Forsythe disrupts a prevailing narrative about the 'wild west' of egg donation (and ART generally) in the United States by taking her analysis to the state level to reveal where and how legislators are engaging and affecting egg donation uses, processes, and access.” —Kelly Dittmar, author of Navigating Gendered Terrain: Stereotypes and Strategy in Political Campaigns

“An excellent case study on the gendered politics of policymaking surrounding egg donation.”—Karen Baird, author of Beyond Reproduction: Women’s Health, Activism, and Public Policy
