When Abortion Was a Crime: Women, Medicine, and Law in the United States, 1867-1973, with a New Preface Paperback - 2022
by Leslie J. Reagan
From the rear cover
"Essential."--New York Times "A first-rate exposition of the changing cultural and legal climate regarding abortion in America."--Washington Post "For those who take abortion for granted, Reagan's work is an eye-opener."--Publishers Weekly "This book is one of the most important books I have ever read. It has shaped my thinking about abortion and many other things in deep ways."--Katha Pollitt, contributor, The Nation "Exploiting legal as well as medical records, Reagan has retrieved the history of women who struggled for reproductive autonomy and provides our best account of how the practice and policing of abortion evolved in relation to medicine, the state, and the condition of women. [This] is a major contribution to social history."--James W. Reed, Rutgers University "This is a fascinating book--energetic, even urgent in its narrative. It is based on entirely new material, making ingenious and enlightening use of criminal trials, inquests, and newspaper accounts. Both creative and painstaking in her research, Reagan persuasively establishes historical patterns in the availability of assisted abortion and documents a striking antiabortion backlash in the 1940-50s. In addition to the book's value for scholars, it will undoubtedly be valuable to feminists, lawyers, doctors, and others interested in the conditions of abortion today."--Nancy Cott, Yale University

Description:
New. The definitive history of abortion in the United States, with a new preface that equips readers for what's to come. When Abortion Was a Crime is the must-read book on abortion history. Originally published ahead of the thirtieth anniversary of Roe v. Wade, this award-winning study was the first to examine the entire period during which abortion was illegal in the United States, beginning in the mid-nineteenth century and ending with that monumental case in 1973. When Abortion Was a Crime is filled with intimate stories and nuanced analysis, demonstrating how abortion was criminalized and policed-and how millions of women sought abortions regardless of the law. With this edition, Leslie J. Reagan provides a new preface that addresses the dangerous and ongoing threats to abortion access across the country, and the precarity of our current moment. While abortions have typically been portrayed as grim "back alley" operations, this deeply researched history confirms that…
