"This book demonstrates how reproductive justice, far beyond just an academic concept, is a principle that continues to animate activism across the world. Fried and Ross's approachable yet thorough work especially highlights the contributions of feminists in the Global South, such as the Mexican organization Las Libres, whose direct actions advance abortion access through pill distribution and accompaniment support for people receiving treatment. In doing so, Fried and Ross offer a crucial corrective to what is often told as a white feminist story."--Cora Fernández Anderson, author of Fighting for Abortion Rights in Latin America: Social Movements, State Allies and Institutions

Through compelling storytelling and rigorous analysis, this book is both a vital resource and a powerful call to action for anyone fighting for justice in a post-Dobbs world."--Dorothy Roberts, author of Killing the Black Body
