Bedroom and the State (Oxford) (Canadian Social History Series)

By Angus McLaren and Arlene Tigar McLaren

The decline of the birth rate is arguably the most important social change to develop in Canada in this century. But even those actively involved in contemporary struggles over abortion and reproductive technologies are largely ignorant of the historical context of the debate. The Bedroom and the State is the first comprehensive and balanced account of how Canadian men and women have sought to limit births and how public figures have attempted to turn such private concerns to political purposes.

Hailed when it first appeared as a landmark history of Canadian fertility control, this second edition offers an updated conclusion and a new final chapter dealing with developments and events from 1969 to the present.
