Speaking of Abortion by Andrea L Press

Over four years, Andrea Press and Elizabeth Cole watched television with women, visiting city houses, suburban subdivisions, modern condominiums, and public housing projects. They found that television depicts abortion as a problem for the poor and the working classes, and that viewers invariably referred to and abided by class when discussing abortion. Speaking of Abortion is an invaluable resource that allows us to hear how ordinary women discuss one of America's most volatile issues.
Cole, Elizabeth R.: - Andrea L. Press is a professor of communication and women's studies and directs the media studies program at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She is the author of Women Watching Television: Gender, Class, and Generation in the American Television Experience.

Elizabeth R. Cole is an associate professor in women's studies and the Center for Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan.
