Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight Over Women's Work

Jenny Brown is a National Women’s Liberation organizer and former editor of Labor Notes. She was a leader in the grassroots campaign to make morning-after pill contraception available over the counter in the U.S. and was a plaintiff in the winning lawsuit. She is author of Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight over Women’s Work and Without Apology: The Abortion Struggle Now.

Join us for a conversation with Jenny Brown, and Assistant Professor of Women's & Gender Studies, Heather Montes-Ireland, in which they'll discuss, how the public responsibilities of pregnancy and parenting have been privatized to benefit a capitalist for-profit system designed to minimize labor cost to produce wealth for the few
