Pulitzer Prize-winning author David J. Garrow's stirring and essential history of the politics of abortion and America's battle for the right to choose
In 1973, the Supreme Court handed down its landmark
Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion, and more than forty years later the issue continues to spark controversy and divisiveness. But behind this historic legal case lie the battles women fought to establish their rights to use contraceptives and choose to have an abortion.
Liberty and Sexuality traces these political and legal struggles in the decades leading up to
Roe v. Wade-including the momentous 1965 Supreme Court ruling in
Griswold v. Connecticut that established a constitutional "right to privacy." Garrow personalizes the struggles by detailing the vital contributions made by dozens of crusaders who tirelessly paved the way.
This expansive and substantial work also addresses the threats to sexual privacy and the legality of abortion that have risen since
Roe v. Wade. With abortion still a contentious subject on the national political landscape,
Liberty and Sexuality is not just a historical account of the right to choose, but an indispensable read about preserving a freedom that continues to divide America.
