Before there was a 'Jane Roe," the most important champions of reproductive rights were ordinary people working in their local communities. In her book Prof Felicia Kornbluh delivers the untold story of everyday activists who defined those rights and achieved them, in the years immediately before and after Roe v. Wade made abortion legal under federal law.
