With a Bachelor's Degree in Feminist Studies from Brown University, and a Master's Degree in Feminist Studies from Goddard College, what was I to do but help start and run an abortion clinic?
I was 22 years old when Roe v. Wade was decided. I soon found that the various aspects of abortion care were to be the work of my life. My trilogy, Without Permission, Without Authority, and Without Apology, follow the life of a 102-year-old woman who has provided abortion care outside the laws of men. As you journey with Jane Smith from Occupied Paris to the Navy in California, and then post-war Japan, you'll meet women who teach you the range of experiences that surround pregnancy and abortion, and the danger of assumptions and stereotypes. Jane learns the importance of tailoring care to emotional and spiritual needs. These are stories for our times--and for all time.
