About this title

Review:

No job, no home, no money and pregnant. Fleeing from the horror of a back alley abortion clinic, one woman became embroiled in one of the biggest court battles in US history. The final decision came three years too late for her though it changed the lives of many other women. Nearly 20 years later, Norma McCorvey stepped from the shadows and revealed herself as Jane Roe. This is her story.

From the Publisher:

The plaintiff in the landmark Roe v. Wade case shares the fascinating and highly controversial story of her struggle to obtain a legal abortion 20 years ago and what has happened to her since. "A powerful and important American document."--New York Times
