A lot of great important stuff in here, including great work by Sari Botton, Mira Ptacin, Elissa Bassist, and Sarah Mirk. I'm happy that my essay, I Know Who You Raped Last Summer, is included.

This is an important book. 21 different topical essays on the subject of women's reproductive freedom. Some essays are achingly personal. Some are academically political.

If you don't currently subscribe to the notion that there is a war, this volume may convince you to reconsider.If you're someone who came to consciousness after Roe v. Wade (1973) (or whose context is outside of the US), much of the history reviewed in several of the chapter...
A good read that is a must for informed citizens (or not). Some may find some of these essays shocking. After working in public health and as a woman's health care provider/CNM, there were not too many shockers for me. The war on women is active in the year 2014.
