by Karen Blumenthal (Author)A riveting look at the tumultuous history of abortion rights in the United States leading up to the landmark case of Roe v. Wade, by award-winning author and journalist Karen Blumenthal. "Jane Against the World reads, at times, like a legal thriller. I kept reminding myself, “Wait, I know how this ends."...

Gripping reading; necessary for every library serving teens." - Kirkus Reviews Tracing the path to the 19th century to the pivotal decision
