The Search for an Abortionist

This insightful audiobook by sociologist Nancy Howell Lee delves into the abortion experience before the pivotal Roe v. Wade decision of 1973. Drawing on interviews with 114 women who underwent illegal abortions, it highlights the risks and challenges they faced while revealing the profound emotional and physical impacts of their choices. With contemporary legislation increasingly restricting access to abortion, this pioneering work emphasizes the continued relevance of these narratives in today's debates surrounding reproductive rights.
