For more than 25 years the author has been debating the uses and misuses of technologies. With a background in neurobiology, she has unpacked mystifying language and challenged doctors and technologists on their ethics and methodologies. She has written widely on reproductive technologies, HRT, cloning, abortion and other issues affecting women's health. Her work in Women's Studies has also been groundbreaking and her writings have influenced students, teachers and researchers around the world. The author's work engages the reader and her political clarity is refreshing and often irreverent. This book brings together a diverse array of these writings, including pieces on feminist theory, activism, women's health, the over-use of anti-depressants and cyberfeminism as well as talks on immigration and population control, the environment, lesbian visibility and women's leadership. It also includes reflections on living in a number of countries and some excursions into fiction.
