This book was a “graphic essay.” It’s an overview of the history of abortion rights worldwide, from when abortion was just considered a medical concern, to the currently hyper-politicized fraught topic which it is today. There’s a lot of good information, from an author who is unapologetically in favor of abortion rights and I appreciated the global perspective but it did read sort of like an essay and didn’t make as much use of the graphic medium as I’d hoped. It was nice to get a worldwide perspective on the topic.
