Description

Sample Book Insights:
#1 The first voice Jenny heard after the anesthetic wore off was the surgeon’s. The sterilization procedure was a success, and you’re eight weeks pregnant. Jenny was twenty-six, the mother of two young children, and had been suffering from lymphatic cancer, Hodgkin’s disease, for the past two years.
#2 Jenny had never viewed abortion as a women’s liberation issue, even though she knew how important it was to address the problems women faced. She was afraid that if abortion was made into a women’s issue, women might become alienated from women’s liberation.
#3 Jenny had been an advocate of women’s rights for most of her adult life. She was raised on the stories of her great-aunt Lillian, a suffragette, who had once chained herself to the gates of the White House. She was active on civil liberties and civil rights issues in college.
#4 In 1965, women in the Movement began raising the issue of women’s second-class status in the Movement and in society in general. By the fall of 1967, radical women realized they needed to form their own movement.

Insights from Chapter 1



#1

The first voice Jenny heard after the anesthetic wore off was the surgeon’s. The sterilization procedure was a success, and you’re eight weeks pregnant. Jenny was twenty-six, the mother of two young children, and had been suffering from lymphatic cancer, Hodgkin’s disease, for the past two years.

#2

Jenny had never viewed abortion as a women’s liberation issue, even though she knew how important it was to address the problems women faced. She was afraid that if abortion was made into a women’s issue, women might become alienated from women’s liberation.

#3

Jenny had been an advocate of women’s rights for most of her adult life. She was raised on the stories of her great-aunt Lillian, a suffragette, who had once chained herself to the gates of the White House. She was active on civil liberties and civil rights issues in college.

#4

In 1965, women in the Movement began raising the issue of women’s second-class status in the Movement and in society in general. By the fall of 1967, radical women realized they needed to form their own movement.

#5

Claire met with each woman to help them through their fears and anxiety surrounding the procedure. She would explain the medical procedure, how to arrange payment, and where to go after. She would also help the women cope with the emotional trauma.

#6

As Claire continued to send women to the doctor, she began to realize that not all of his patients were from the neighborhood. There were a number of white, Catholic working-class women who came to him for abortions.

#7

By 1968, Claire was getting more requests for help than she was able to handle on her own. She was married, pregnant, a graduate student, had a job, and was involved in many other projects both on and off campus. She knew that if she wanted this serious work to continue, she would have to take aggressive steps to organize something substantial.

#8

The women’s liberation movement was a group of women who traveled around the country talking about women’s rights, and they left in their wake groups of women who began the process of revealing the personal as political.
Insights from Chapter 2



#1

Claire began organizing an illegal abortion service for women in Chicago. She wanted to create a bond between women that went beyond just providing a service. They should use this service to raise women’s consciousnesses.

#2

Jenny was the impatient one, but many others were not, and they began working on fundraising projects for abortion referrals.

#3

While raising money to lend to women who could not afford abortions, Karen decided to expand and organize Claire’s idea into an abortion loan fund. She knew women who had money to donate to worthwhile causes, and asked for money to help pay for abortions.

#4

The group Claire started was meant to help women who were in situations where they had to get abortions. They discussed the economic, emotional, social, and medical reasons women needed abortions, and how society treated women who needed abortions as immoral.

#5

Before the rise of the women’s liberation movement, a number of professionals, primarily doctors and lawyers, worked to liberalize abortion laws. They based their arguments in state legislatures and in the courts on a doctor’s right to exercise his medical judgment.
