This book presents a historicised account of the Feminist
International Network of Resistance to Reproductive and Genetic
Engineering (FINRRAGE). A coordinated effort during the 1980s and
1990s by an international group of women to create and disseminate
feminist knowledge about the then-new field of reproductive
technologies. Bringing insights from science and technology studies
together with social movements and feminist theory, it seeks to
examine larger questions about knowledge and expertise in activist
engagements with rapidly-developing technologies, as well as
explore an important and neglected episode of feminist history. Its
findings will be relevant to scholars in science studies, gender
and women's studies and social movements, as well as to anyone with
an interest in reproductive technologies and the history of
feminist activism.
