Women’s History Month Book Club Reading List

• The Lie That Binds by NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue and former Research Director Ellie Langford traces the evolution of abortion from a non-controversial issue to a partisan tactic used by a right-wing movement determined to halt social progress.
• How Politics Became Reproductive Politics by Laura Briggs argues that all politics are reproductive politics. From longer work hours to the election of Donald Trump, our current political crisis is above all about reproduction.
• Reproductive Justice: The Politics of Health Care for Native American Women by Barbara Gurr examines the reproductive healthcare experiences on Pine Ridge Reservation, home of the Oglala Lakota Nation in South Dakota — where Gurr herself lived for more than a year.
• Killing the Black Body by Dorothy Roberts remains a rallying cry for education, awareness, and action on extending reproductive justice to all women. It is as crucial as ever, even two decades after its original publication.
