Produktbeschreibung

• Extremely timely, as the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision in 2022 has led to a resurgence of interest in all possible forms of abortion activism, such as groups coordinating travel, housing and funding, clinic defense, and Plan C abortion pill mailings across the countryall of which have their roots in the history told here.
• Deep Care is one of the first books to tell the history of the feminist underground self-help movement, covering 30 years of evolving activist strategies as one of the rare books with a look across periods before, during and after the Roe era.
• Based on first-person interviews conducted by the author as well as primary source research. Many of the activists quoted are speaking about their activities, many of them illegal, for the first time.
• Much of the history is based in the Bay Area, with the author and many activists living locally.
• Key locations of interest nationwide include Gainseville, FL and Baton Rouge, LA, and more.
