• The topic of reproductive justice is high in the current news cycle and is likely to remain hot, through the November election cycle and beyond, as states continue to wrestle over how to protect reproductive rights for their citizens. This book is a perfect read for every concerned citizen, and a ripe conversation/interview topic for national media outlets.

• According to recent Gallup polling, 85% of Americans believe abortion should be legal in at least some circumstances. This is an indication that the overturning of Roe flies solidly against public opinion, and that a strong majority of Americans support reproductive freedom.

• This collection combines an array of written forms—personal essay, journalism, poetry, and interviews—for the purpose of cataloguing what has been lost, and to offer solutions for the road ahead. Experts offer real solutions for how individuals can fight to support reproductive rights at the state, local, and personal levels.

• Confirmed blurbs from Gloria Steinem and V (Eve Ensler).

• Well-known contributors to this collection will amplify the book's reach. Authors include: Jessica Valenti, Soraya Chemaly, Michele Goodwin, Alyssa Milano, Ruby Sales, Heather Cox Richardson, Robin Marty, Jennifer Baumgardner, Linda Villarosa, Gloria Feldt, Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis (co-chair of The Poor People's Campaign w Dr. William Barber), and Amy Ferris.

Industry Reviews

"Freedom begins with the ability to make decisions about our own lives, and for women, there is no decision more intimate or crucial to our health than the decision of whether or not to give birth. The huge majority of Americans agree, and in the aftermath of Roe, the consequence of allowing states to suppress this right will be a new American revolution. This book is a much-needed testimony to this moment and a call to understanding that reproductive freedom is as basic as freedom of speech."

-Gloria Steinem, author and activist

“May this diverse, brilliant powerful gathering of some of our finest feminist voices and stories, inspire you to tell your story, raise your voice and fight with your life for our bodily autonomy and reproductive justice for all.”

—V (formerly Eve Ensler), playwright, author, and activist

“This incisive collection of essays offers diverse and necessary insights into how the loss of Roe v. Wade will impact the lives of pregnant people in America. The writers featured in Aftermath provide a vision of the new reality too many Americans will be forced to confront. This is essential reading for post-Roe America.”

—Reshma Saujani, founder & CEO, Marshall Plan for Moms, and founder of Girls Who Code

“A woman's right to decide when she’ll bear children is critical to her success in the workplace and beyond. The stories in Aftermath bear witness to women’s turmoil before Roe v. Wade and highlight how central reproductive freedom has been to unleashing our potential over the last fifty years. Read these stories, share them, and commit yourself to building an equitable world.”

—Tiffany Dufu, founder & CEO, The Cru, and author of Drop the Ball: Achieving More by Doing Less
