Editorial Reviews
Carol C. Chin, Journal of Women's History
"Hardacre uses personal narratives and regional case studies to demonstrate the highly contested nature of mizuko kuyo. . . . By examining earlier rituals surrounding reproduction, the author shows that mizuko kuyo . . . is not a "natural" Japanese response to abortion, but rather a contemporary, commercialized phenomenon."

Richard Gardner, Monumenta Nipponica
"Because Helen Hardacre does so much here to present the complexities, she handles the problems they pose with substantial grace. . . . Rich in insight, argument, and implication."
