In her Arena Quarterly article A-Listers and Baby-Makers: The Return of Surrogacy, Renate Klein delivers a powerful radical feminist critique of the global surrogacy industry, exposing how commercial and so-called altruistic surrogacy exploit women’s bodies, violate children’s rights, and are driven by structural inequalities, celebrity influence, and neoliberal ideologies. Drawing on real-world cases from Ukraine to Australia, Klein challenges the mainstreaming of surrogacy and calls for its global abolition.

Kajsa Ekis Ekman writes: “The woman in the west faces a major dilemma: no contemporary political force is advocating for her interests. One side wants to abolish her rights, while the other wants to erase her name.” Read her thoughts in this translated article, published in Aftonbladet, Sweden.
