Very factual and no frills。 Written by two lawyers that want to see the law stay in favor of women。 Book releases July 13th and it’s the perfect ammunition needed for this conversation topic。 - knowledge

Controlling Women is part memoir， part history， and part social science。 Mostly， it made me angry， not at the authors but at the male-dominated system intent on controlling even the most personal facets of a woman’s body and life。The two authors are lawyers who’ve been working on the forefront of women’s rights for decades。 With this book， they take us on their journey from the early struggles of Roe vs。 Wade to our current fight to maintain that ruling。Within the legal history， the authors also Controlling Women is part memoir， part history， and part social science。 Mostly， it made me angry， not at the authors but at the male-dominated system intent on controlling even the most personal facets of a woman’s body and life。The two authors are lawyers who’ve been working on the forefront of women’s rights for decades。 With this book， they take us on their journey from the early struggles of Roe vs。 Wade to our current fight to maintain that ruling。Within the legal history， the authors also share stories of women who’ve been caught in the maelstrom， forced to plead for the right to manage their own bodies， and suffered both emotionally and physically because of it。This book isn’t solely for those who are pro choice。 The authors explain how we got here and why， and it’s that “why” that every woman should be concerned with。*I received an ARC from Hachette Books。* 。。。more
