Recent reproductive technology has become the popular option for infertile couples to complete their families. Gestational surrogacy is a transaction arrangement where poor women agree to carry the offspring of the upper class. Joanne Ramos’s debut novel, The Farm (2019), depicts the current, controversial issue of international surrogacy. The novel raises ethical, economic, and class-structure questions about the recent form of reproductive technology. The current study aims to examine the text through a Marxist feminist framework by applying the concepts of commodification, alienation, and exploitation. The impoverished women’s bodies in the novel are portrayed as breeding machines for the infertile upper-class couples.
