Mary Ziegler

Opis

Ziegler documents a shift to debates on policy costs and benefits that deepened polarization on abortion in this first legal history of the period.

Recenzje

'Ziegler's already weighty account leaves the reader desirous for more of her analysis and insights, including assessing the role of white supremacy in the modern era of antiabortion movements and learning how race-based tropes may be the next level of strategizing. For this, we must await her next book.' Michele Goodwin, Perspectives on Politics
