The Pro-Choice Movement

"Excellent coverage of organizational history of a social movement."--natasha Kraus, SUNY Buffalo "The Pro-Choice Movement provides the most richly detailed and nuanced narrative of the strategies and tactics of pro-choice organizations available. It is also one of the first works written by a scholar (rather than an activist, journalist, or freelance writer) chronicling activities of the pro-choice movement."--American Political Science Review "A meticulously researched examplar of historical sociology."--American Journal of Sociology "Extremely valuable for students of social change movements....A significant study."--Journal of American History "The book is meticulous and thoroughly documented....An authoritative history of the people and events associated with reproductive rights....The meticulous detail of the book makes it especially valuable as a historical account. Its theoretical importance and power come from its critique of the social movement literature and particularly of the assumptions about organizational structure built into that literature."--The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science "Excellent coverage of organizational history of a social movement."--natasha Kraus, SUNY Buffalo "The Pro-Choice Movement provides the most richly detailed and nuanced narrative of the strategies and tactics of pro-choice organizations available.
