520 |a "In this "engrossing" history (Booklist, starred review), award-winning author Rebecca Grant charts the reproductive freedom movement from the days before Roe through the seismic impact of Dobbs. The stories in Access span four continents, tracing strategies across generations and borders. Grant centers activists who engage in direct action to help people get the abortions they need. Their efforts involve no small measure of derring-do, spycraft, sea adventures, close calls, undercover operations, smuggling, sequins, legal dramas, victories, defeats, and, above all, a deeply held conviction that all risks are worth it for the cause. Drawing on expert research and investigative reporting, and told with deep compassion and humanity by a journalist who has spent her career on the front lines of the fight, Access celebrates the bravery, ingenuity, and determination of women who fight for a fundamental human right-and serves as an inspiring rallying cry for the work ahead"--Page 4 of cover.
