"Foreword by Helen Garner"-- Cover.
The stories of women who had illegal abortions from the 1930s onwards in Australia. They cross class boundaries and offer real insight into what women's lives were like - their working lives, the prevailing social attitudes, lack of sex education, social stigmas and mores. The accounts are interspersed with accounts from doctors and nurses.
