Liberation or oppression? radical feminism and in vitro fertilisation
Qualitative research was conducted to determine to what extent, if at all, the experience of in vitro fertilisation could be explained by radical feminist theories. Ten semi-focused interviews were conducted, seven with women alone, and three with women and their partners.Radical feminists emphasise the control of women's reproductive role by men as being the root of patriarchal oppression.
