“Journalist Rebecca Grant, in her riveting, sweeping new book, Access: Inside the Abortion Underground and the Sixty-Year Battle for Reproductive Freedom, tells the epic tale of women’s struggle to obtain their bodily sovereignty. Through her daring reporting and copious research, Grant has written a monumental masterpiece of feminist outrage, ingenuity, and perseverance." Air Mail

“Based on a decade of work as a reporter, Grant offers an immensely readable and deeply researched history, equal parts enraging and moving . . . Grant’s book should be required reading for every American.” The New Republic

“A roving, keenly reported account…with an inspiring focus on ordinary people who risk their livelihoods, freedom, and safety to help others, this rivets.” Publishers Weekly

“A richly detailed account of the long struggle for women’s right to choose.” Kirkus

“A clear and compelling blend of history and journalism… Those seeking a well-researched, galvanizing narrative about abortion access should look no further than this engrossing account.” Booklist
