The Future of Another Timeline by Annalee Newitz
5.0
Wow. This is powerful.
Basic premise is an alternate history, where reproductive rights are threatened from the far future via time travel. There's a whole lot more than that.
There is some potentially triggering subject matter. That may be an understatement.
Heed the warnings: I had a visceral reaction to some of this. I've read other stuff written in more explicit ways that didn't impact me as much. An observation, rather than a complaint. Will reread again in future when I feel able to.
