Summary

The End of an Era: Unraveling the Fall of Roe

Women in America enjoy unprecedented equality. The #MeToo movement has reshaped workplaces, Christian influence is waning, and Democrats lead in Washington. Yet, amidst this progress, a cornerstone of liberal politics has crumbled: the right to abortion access.

Critics Review

Searing and intimate … with masterly, white-hot reporting. * Mattie Kahn, The New York Times *The most important book in the lead up to this election. * Nicolle Wallace, MSNBC *Reads like a thriller. * The New York Times *The Fall of Roe unfolds like a horror story. Danger lurked outside the cabin door, but the threat was never fully perceived by those who lived within … Dias and Lerer provide a great public service … As [they] write, the fight against legal abortion is tied inextricably to the fight for America’s soul – Sarah Jones * New York Magazine *A rich narrative. * Rolling Stone *A rollicking read, full of complicated but passionate advocates on both sides. It’s a tale of religion, power, politics and ultimately of the position of women in American society; an account of how a driven minority can triumph over a complacent majority. It’s riveting. * The Telegraph, five star review *A fantastic narrative of the last decade that opened my eyes to how abortion rights fell apart in this country – Asma Khalid * NPR *A tour de force. [The Fall of Roe] is a blueprint, so comprehensive in how it speaks to the right and the left … It’s essential reading. However you read books, hardcover, ebook, audio … Just read it. * Alex Wagner on Alex Wagner tonight *An essential read. * Elisabeth L. Silver, author of The Majority *A deeply personal and narrative look at the decades-long campaign to restrict reproductive access in the U.S. [The Fall of Roe] takes us from inside secret meetings with Christian activists to abortion clinics to the White House * Katie Couric Media *
