Conclusion: Making feminist global health security 165 Epilogue: COVID-1 9 191 Bibliography 207 Index 267 Acknowledgements This book has been through several iterations. It started whilst I was preg- nant in 2016 and recognising my good fortune to be pregnant in the UK, safe from the “threat” of Zika. Due to unforeseen stressors, and a second preg- nancy of my own, this became a larger theoretical, and considerably longer, project, with a better result. Taking three years to write a book and reflect on the issues raised by Zika has allowed me time to consider the outbreak and feminist knowledge in the context of global health security more broadly. As I simultaneously become more disillusioned with global health security as a concept, and in particular as a policy space for women, Zika has offered the “perfect” viewpoint to assess these concerns, notably those of representation, the failure to serve those who are most at risk, and the lack of sustainability in securitized activity. Whilst I don’t assume to have the complete picture, my only request for this book is that whoever reads it questions the inherent assumptions of global health security and what is missed when this frame is applied to a global health issue. The first thanks must go to all those people who agreed to talk to me as part of the process, whether formally or informally. It is these conversations that inspired me, challenged me, and made me reflect over the years. I hope I have represented our conversations fairly, and any errors are exclusively mine. This book is the product of several conversations with colleagues, without which it would have been infinitely inferior. The second big thank you goes to Sophie Harman and Sara Davies; they allowed me to brainstorm ideas with them over lunches, drinks, Whatsapps and emails off and on for three years which has significantly improved this book and kept me motiv- ated to see it through to the end. Sophie Harman read an earlier iteration of the first chapters of this book and suggested a significant restructure that made so much sense. For having friends willing to support and provide such sage advice, I shall forever be grateful. A Wellcome Trust funded project “Zika and the Regulation of Health Emergencies: Medical Abortion in Brazil, Colombia and El Salvador” (210308/ Z/ 18/ Z) facilitated much of the learning for this book.
