The history of sexuality family planning and reproduction in Central and Eastern Europe
sounds out the historical dimensions across a broad field where human biology medicine policy
and government social programmes intersect with fundamental conceptions of desired or feared
social developments. From contraception to representations of motherhood and controversies
over reproductive rights using the example of the historically changing political social
cultural and scientific interconnections in Central and Eastern Europe the contributors to
this volume invite reflections on historical developments that open new perspectives for the
21st century.
