4.0

This is a unique anthology of short stories, poems, comics, nonfiction, photography, and more discussing women’s health issues and reproductive freedom. Definitely a relevant, if not urgent read. It was dense and some stories definitely resonated more than others, but that’s to be expected! The upside to having such a wide array of stories approaching the same topic is that there’s something here for everyone. Some of my favorites were Women Like Me, The Fig Queen, and Scarlett Letter. Also, it’s in collaboration with the Brigid Alliance, a nationwide service that arranges and funds confidential and personal travel support to those seeking abortion care, so a portion of proceeds goes to the Brigid Alliance :-)
