Shout Your Abortion on The Daily Show, in Bitch Magazine, Salon, Broadly, and more!

 

"Bonow believes in the importance of acknowledging that people have abortions for different reasons. This is a reality strongly reflected in the pages of the book, which highlights abortion stories from cisgender women as well as gender-nonconforming and trans people and stories of people having the procedure before Roe v. Wade. The book features people of all ages who are living all over the country and abroad, including people who are religious, punks, sex workers, or mothers already. There are people for whom the abortion decision was hard, and others for whom it was easy; and people who are speaking openly and clearly about their abortions, and those who have chosen to remain anonymous. All these perspectives and more create a living, breathing, sparkling manifestation of the truth that people who have abortions are not a monolith; and that in and of itself speaks to the normalcy of abortion and the absurdity of its stigma."—Caroline Reilly, Bitch Magazine

Jenny Brown and Birth Strike: The Hidden Fight Over Women's Work in The Nation & Jacobin

 

"In Birth Strike, Brown argues that the crackdown on women’s reproductive rights is a response, on the part of US policy-makers, to our declining birth rate. The ruling class worries that when women stop having babies, the smaller workforce will mean rising labor costs. Instead of improving the conditions for parenthood through universal child care and health care, free college tuition, more generous family leave, and higher wages, our elites have seized on what is, for them, a far less expensive solution: forced procreation." —Liza Featherstone, The Nation

Oddly specific Booklist Recommendation: Girl Gangs, Biker Boys, and Real Cool Cats

 

For your friend who always gets distracted by the paperback spinners in thrift stores

You know the type, always hissing across the aisles at Goodwill or Salvation Army while you’re trying on that vintage sport coat. “Look at this one!” they say, giggling in disbelief and holding up a dog-eared 1960s paperback featuring a lurid and tastelessly illustrated cover designed to titillate readers of yore. This large-format book features hundreds upon hundreds of those fascinating covers, from Beatnik Wanton and Marijuana Girl to A Kiss a Day Keeps the Corpses Away and Jazzman in Nudetown. Even better, this is actually an entertaining and almost scholarly treatise on the phenomenon of “youthsploitation” novels, meaning your friend will learn a lot about the lurid literature written about and for juvenile delinquents, beats and bohemians, disaffected British youth, hippies and other counterculture types, musicians and groupies, and bikers and wannabes. With a resource this rich, there’s no need to face the sights, smells, and textures of “Sally Ann” to get your paperback kicks.

This is Not a Witch Hunt-- Silvia Federici in the Boston Review

 

"Trivializing the death of those convicted of witchcraft—mainly women—is a form of violence, and Federici challenges us to consider that “denouncing the commerce made of women’s bodies and their death to boost tourism” is an important step in toppling patriarchal domination. By extension, one could argue that the flagrant misuse of the term “witch hunt” as a political meme also abuses the memory of those who were actually hunted as witches..."— Jonathan Beecher Field, Boston Review
