Abortion is illegal in almost every circumstance in Ireland, making it the only democracy in the western world to have such a constitutional ban. This anthology, a national bestseller, is the definitive collection of the writing and art inspired by the most pressing debate in contemporary Ireland, and beyond. Between 1980 and 2015, at least 165,438 Irish women and girls accessed UK abortion services. In 2016, the figure was 3,265. Any woman or girl who procures an abortion, or anyone who assists a woman to procure an abortion in Ireland can be criminalised and imprisoned for up to fourteen years. A woman may not procure an abortion in Ireland if she is pregnant due to incest or rape, or to prevent inevitable miscarriage and fatal foetal abnormality. The movement to repeal the Eighth Amendment and make abortion legal in Ireland has grown massively over the last few years. This book shares the literature, personal stories, opinions, photography, art and design produced by the movement that catalysed 2018's momentous referendum- it features prize-winning novelists, critically acclaimed poets, cutting-edge artists and journalists on the front line. Contributors include Lisa McInerney, Anne Enright, Louise O'Neill, Caitlin Moran, Tara Flynn, Aisling Bea, Sinead Gleeson and Emmet Kiran.… (altro)

Ní saoirse go saoirse na mban. ( )

I heard about it in the days leading up to the Irish abortion referendum and couldn't not read it. It's a collection of essays, fiction, poems and personal stories inspired by the horrible abortion restrictions placed on women in Ireland, and the fight to repeal the problematic (misogynistic, barbaric, etc) 8th Amendment. The referendum was last week, and the Republic of Ireland did the right thing. I reserve celebration until actual change occurs, but that's a pretty awesome thing. This book was a great primer for someone like me who is fairly ignorant not just about Irish women's rights, but about Ireland in general. It was definitely a stirring battle cry, and a reminder that though the referendum in the Republic has been won, there is still a long way to go (especially for the women of Northern Ireland, who are not covered by the result of the vote). It was also really informative about the political position of reproductive rights more generally. On a bookish level, like many collections it had some standout pieces and some which didn't really grab me, but it was a short read and kept my attention all the way through. ( )
