The Biopolitics of Gender
Repo, Jemima (Lecturer in the Politics of Gender at Newcastle University, Lecturer in the Politics of Gender at Newcastle University, Newcastle University)
This book theorizes the idea of gender itself as an apparatus of power developed to reproduce life and labor. From its invention in 1950s psychiatry to its appropriation by feminism, demography and public policy, the book examines how gender has been deployed to optimize production and reproduction over the past sixty years.
