Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on pivotal reproductive rights movements in New York, the book explores the campaigns to decriminalize abortion and combat sterilization abuse, particularly in communities of color. These efforts, occurring around the time of Roe v. Wade, reveal a broader narrative of activism that included diverse figures such as dissident Democrats and Puerto Rican leaders. Through personal accounts and new sources, including insights from the author's mother, the work highlights how grassroots activism shaped legal changes and continues to influence the fight for reproductive justice today.
