“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.”
