5.0

An inspiring and urgently relevant book which tells the story of the Janes: an activist group who took matters into their own hands pre-Roe v Wade to provide safe, effective abortions to women in need, and who developed a new model of care that centered around empathy and bringing each woman into being a participant in her own care.

In a world where abortion rights are already under attack in many states, the lessons of this book are timeless. Add to that some excellent sources, interesting deep-dives into the technical aspects of their operation, and the insider perspective that the author provides, and this is just a great look at a little-known piece of the history of the women's liberation movement.
