Why people recommend it
Before Roe V. Wade is a comprehensive documentary collection edited by Linda Greenhouse and Reva B. Siegel that compiles primary source materials reflecting the legal, social, and personal realities of abortion prior to the 1973 Supreme Court decision. Mary Ziegler recommended the volume on The Ezra Klein Show during the episode How America’s Two Abortion Realities Are Clashing in March 2024. Ziegler expressed her deep fondness for the collection, describing it as a polyphonic compilation filled with primary documents and diverse perspectives from individuals who lived through the era before Roe came down. By recommending this book, Ziegler emphasized the importance of engaging directly with historical records rather than relying solely on retrospective summaries. She noted that the collection allows readers to encounter the authentic voices, arguments, and societal conditions of the past, thereby providing a richer, multi-faceted context for understanding the complexities of the abortion debate both historically and within the contemporary political environment.
