Revolutionizing Women's Healthcare: The Feminist Self-Help Movement in America

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Revolutionizing Women’s Healthcare is the story of a feminist experiment: the self-help movement. Tired of doctors who saw them as silly little girls, shame over birth control, abortions in back alleys, and little control over their reproductive lives, feminists created the self-help movement. In an effort to revolutionize women’s healthcare they founded clinics, created books and movies, raided medical institutions, performed abortions, and created national organizations.
