[Sehefac] Chikako in the news

[Dana Simmons]

Hello all,
Celebrating Chikako, who is extensively quoted in this piece in *Slate* about
the IUD:
https://slate.com/technology/2024/06/birth-control-hormonal-side-effects-iud-dalkon-shield.html
"The development of the modern IUD is inextricably linked to the population
control movement, as Chikako Takeshita documents in her book *The Global
Biopolitics of the IUD*. In the 1950s, governments, international
organizations, and wealthy funders began to fret over a “population
explosion in the global South,” she writes. This, in their minds, could
cause all sorts of problems: hunger, environmental destruction, political
unrest, communism—all the way up to nuclear war...."
Congrats, Chikako, and thanks for this intervention!
Dana
