Liberty and Sexuality: The Right to Privacy and the Making of Roe v. Wade

Liberty and Sexuality by David J.

Garrow is a comprehensive and thought-provoking history of the politics of abortion in America, tracing the decades-long battle for women's rights to choose.

This landmark book sheds light on the crucial legal cases that led to the 1973 Roe v.

Wade decision, including the groundbreaking Griswold v.

Connecticut ruling that established a constitutional right to privacy.

Garrow personalizes the struggles of dozens of crusaders who fought tirelessly for women's rights, while also addressing the ongoing threats to sexual privacy and abortion legality in the post-Roe era.

With its expansive scope and engaging narrative style, Liberty and Sexuality is an indispensable read for anyone interested in preserving a fundamental freedom that continues to divide America.
