A review by zombiezami
Killing the Black Body: Race, Reproduction, and the Meaning of Liberty by Dorothy Roberts

challenging dark informative sad medium-paced

5.0

So many gut punches, especially when you consider that things have gotten so much worse for reproductive justice since this book first came out.
