Trade Review
'Luce provides new insights into lesbian reproduction practices and the discourses that surround them, making this book worthwhile reading for sociologists interested in reproductive technologies, family, queer studies, kinship studies, and the intersections of law and medicine.' -- Alicia VandeVusse American Journal of Sociology; vol 116:06:2011 'This a well accomplished exploration of queer women's trajectories of trying to conceive, and the way in which their lives are situated within broader social structures.' -- Petra Nordqvist Sociology of Health & Illness; vol 33:06:2011
