#35 Sophie Lewis on 'Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family' [PATRONS ONLY]

Sophie Lewis joins me to discuss her new book, 'Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family' and her recent article in New Socialist, ‘Labour Does You’: Might thinking through pregnancy as work help us radicalise the politics of care?

We spoke about reproductive technologies, the surrogate nature of all pregnancies, the need to reconceive of pregnancy as work, and the demand for the abolition of the nuclear family.

You can read more about Sophie's new book on the Verso Books website:

What a wonderful interview!!! Now I'm going back to listen to the other one. All sorts of psychological seaweed disturbed releasing memories of friends' experiences and accounts of body-being-outsourced feelings. Post partum PTSD also. This has been a very happy hour. Thank you.
