A History of the Reproductive Rights Movement.
David Garrow is a Pulitzer Prize winning author for his biography of Martin Luther King, Jr., "Bearing the Cross." His newest book is a history of the struggle for birth control rights during the 1920s and 30s and how that paved the way for the abortion rights struggle. Along the way, Garrow examines how these rights are tied in with issues of privacy and sexuality. Garrow found that the arguments used in the birth control rights struggle were the same ones used in the struggle for abortion rights. His new book is "Liberty & Sexuality: The Right to Privacy and the Making of Roe v. Wade."(MacMillan Publishing Co.)
