Book description
In a stirring and succinct examination of post-Roe America, "one of the most successful and visible feminists of her generation" (The Washington Post) takes on what's become the country's most resonant political issue. In her most urgent book yet, New York Times bestselling author Jessica Valenti shines a light on the conservative assault on women's freedom, cutting through the misinformation and overwhelm to inform, engage, and enrage. From the attacks Americans know about to the ones anti-abortion lawmakers and groups are trying to hide, Valenti details the tactics and horrors that she's been painstakingly tracking in her acclaimed newsletter, Abortion, Every Day. Abortion gives voice to women's frustration and outrage in a moment when they're fed up with being talked over and diminished. And in an election year when abortion is dominating the national conversation, Valenti provides the language, facts, and context readers need to feel confident talking about the attacks on their bodies and freedom. Abortion is a handbook for the overwhelming majority of Americans who support abortion rights, whether they're seasoned activists or those just starting to learn. With the wit, expertise, and blunt moral clarity that's made her writing popular for decades, Valenti offers an essential manifesto in an urgent moment.
About the Author
Award-winning writer and activist Jessica Valenti is the author of seven books, including the New York Times bestseller Sex Object: A Memoir. Her groundbreaking anthology, Yes Means Yes: Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape, paved the way for legislation of the same name, setting what's now considered the gold standard for sexual consent. Jessica has also been credited with sparking feminism's online wave by founding the trailblazing blog Feministing. She's been a columnist for The Guardian and The Nation, and her writing has been published everywhere from The New York Times and The Atlantic to Bitch magazine and The Toast. After the demise of Roe, Jessica founded Abortion, Every Day, an urgent synthesis of anything and everything happening with abortion rights in the United States. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and daughter.
