Madame Restell: The Life, Death, and Resurrection of Old New York's Most Fabulous, Fearless, and Infamous Abortionist by Jennifer Wright

5.0

---

Fantastic book- if you are passionate about women’s rights and reproductive justice, this is a must read. Jennifer does an amazing job weaving Madame Restell’s life with historical events and past and present political movements, all with humorous quips that had me laughing throughout the entire read. More importantly, Jennifer reminds us that people’s access to abortion and birth control in the US is a continuous battle that requires our strength, attention, and courage to fight for bodily autonomy.
