Description: "Get It Out explores what it means to have a hysterectomy in a culture that devalues the uterus and the people who have them. Using a trans-inclusive, reproductive justice approach, this book explores how all reproductive choices at their core are unchoosable, as they are constrained by interlocking systems of inequality"--Provided by publisher.

Brief description: Andréa Becker is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Hunter College-CUNY. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Nation, and Slate.

Review Quotes: "A highly accessible and nuanced account of hysterectomy that traces its social underpinnings and reveals the continued operation of reproductive stratification along race and gender lines."-- "Krystale E. Littlejohn, author of Just Get on the Pill: The Uneven Burden of Reproductive Politics."
