Jane: documents from Chicago's clandestine abortion service, 1968-1973

Author(s): Arcana, Judith. Galatzer-Levy, Jeanne. Surgal, Ruth. Stern, Meredith. Chicago Women's Liberation Union Herstory Project.


"Special thanks to Judith Arcana, Jeanne Galatzer-Levy, Ruth Surgal, the CSLU (Chicago Women's Liberation Union) Herstory Project, Merrydeath Stern, and justseeds." Brochures and pamphlets from Jane, an abortion service in Chicago in the late 1960s and early 1970s, appear (rekeyed) in this political zine. There are also interviews with women who worked with Jane and a discussion of feminist politics and abortion, especially with regard to race and class and police persecution. "Several documents by these fabulous "Jane" women talking about the group's illegal activities: learning how to perform abortions, teaching themselves and others the skill, and ultimately providing abortions (and support) for thousands of women in the Chicago area. Truly impressive work that was equally risky and still relevant to learn about today." - From publisher
