Emma Campbell, Alliance for Choice
<i>After Repeal</i> provides a front-line view of the diverse and committed movement that rose to meet the challenge to bring about a crucial phase of reproductive justice: we see how the feminist lawyers argued, how the visual artists inspired, and how the suburban and the rural activists engaged with their different contexts. This book is that rare combination of being scholarly yet welcoming of the person who wants to hear true stories, well-told.
