Abortion across Borders

[Abortion across Borders] is a great example of interdisciplinary scholarship: the authors comprise several historians, a geographer, a sociologist, a psychologist, a lawyer and an architect. There is also a fair amount of politics in the book. This makes for varied approaches to each chapter, most of which focus on one country.—Sam Rowlands, Bournemouth University, British Society of Abortion Care Providers[Abortion across Borders] is a rich volume that offers new and exciting analyses.—Shannon Stettner, Literary Review of Canada
