Shortlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction (1977).

The Moral Property of Women is a thoroughly updated and revised version of Linda Gordon's classic study, Woman's Body, Woman's Right (1976). It is the only book to cover the entire history of the intense controversies about reproductive rights that have raged in the United States for more than 150 years. Arguing that reproduction control has always been central to women's status, Gordon shows how opposition to it has long been part of the entrenched opposition to gender equality.
