Laura M. Purdy is Professor of Philosophy and Ruth and Alberg Koch Professor of Humanities at Wells College. She is the author of In Their Best Interest? and Reproducing Persons, both from Cornell, the coauthor of Bioethics, Justice, and Health Care, and coeditor of Feminist Perspectives in Medical Ethics and Embodying Bioethics: Feminist Advances.

"This book is frankly opinionated, though far from close-minded, and joins analytic arguments with appeals to sensibility... Time and again, Purdy points out double standards, juxtaposing the ways in which we frame and judge women's behavior with the ways in which we frame and judge behavior elsewhere."
