“In the Belly of Women” published by Albin Michel.

In the 1960s, thousands of poor women of color on the (post-)colonial French island of Réunion had their pregnancies forcibly terminated by white doctors; the doctors operated under the guise of performing benign surgeries, for which they sought compensation from the government. When the scandal broke in 1970, the doctors claimed they had been encouraged to perform these abortions by French politicians seeking to limit reproduction on the island, even though abortion was illegal in France. 

• Françoise Vergès traces the long history of colonial state intervention in the wombs of Black women during the slave trade and post-slavery imperialism, as well as in current birth control policy. She examines the women's liberation movement in France in the 1960s and 1970s, showing that by choosing to ignore the history of the racialization of women's wombs, French feminists inevitably ended up defending the rights of white women at the expense of women of color.
