Publisher Description

"Starting with her years at the University of Texas Law School at Austin, Weddington, the attorney who won Roe v. Wade , traces the history of her involvement with this momentous Supreme Court case and its aftermath. She laments the ground that sometimes complacent pro-choice activists have lost since Roe v. Wade on issues like the 1989 Webster v. Reproductive Health Services decision and the 1991 Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas hearings, and she stresses the urgent need to regain this ground from an unceasingly pro-life Supreme Court."--School Library Journal

"Wonderfully lucid and straightforward, Sarah Weddington's book presents the history of Roe v. Wade (and several related abortion cases) without sacrificing clarity of language or the urgency behind the words. In the age of Stupak, we need books like this more than ever. "

    " I had the opportunity to meet and talk with Sarah Weddington while I was in college. This book was a straight forward account of the struggle for women to gain control over our bodies. A great read no matter your stance on abortion. "
