<em>"This is a definitive and timely monograph in the most distinguished book series in our field."</em> <strong>• Sarah Franklin</strong>, Cambridge University</p>

<em>“All in all, this is a one-of-a-kind volume by the leading anthropologist of Iranian reproduction. It will make a vital contribution.”</em> <strong>• Marcia C. Inhorn</strong>, Yale University</p>

Celebrating the 50th volume of the landmark Fertility, Reproduction and Sexuality series, this book offers a much-needed analysis of shifting reproductive policies and practices in the Islamic Republic of Iran, a society that is usually represented as either “revolutionary” or “oppressive.” Instead, Tremayne reflects on more than four decades of research  arguing that changing reproductive behaviors on the part of ordinary Iranians must always be viewed against the backdrop of core cultural values and traditions, which are often reinforced, instead of radically altered, by new reproductive technologies, juridical opinions, and state policies.
