Jane Against the World by Karen Blumenthal
Here is a journalistic look at the history of abortion perfect for fans of Steve Sheinkin and Deborah Heiligman. Tracing the path to the landmark decision in Roe v. Wade and the continuing battle for women's rights, Blumenthal examines the root causes of the current debate around abortion and the repercussions that have affected generations of American women. As reproductive rights continue to be challenged across the country, Blumenthal's eye-opening work remains an important and necessary read.
