| Angels of Power and Other Reproductive Creations | Susan Hawthorne and Renate Klein | Spinifex | 1991 |
From Spinifex: In the tradition of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, these writers rework images of the body. Imagination, vision and a sense of the absurd come together and demonstrate that women can resist the power of god-like scientists who long to create monsters and angels.
Angels of Power should head the reading list of any course in ethics and reproductive technology.
