Author Event! Amy Littlefield's "Killers of Roe"

Join us on Saturday, March 21st at 4pm as we host Amy Littlefield in conversation with Daniel Denvir to discuss her latest book, Killers of Roe: My Investigation into the Mysterious Death of Abortion Rights. Signed copies of the book will be available for purchase.

About the book:

Areporter andabortion access correspondent investigates the secret killers and hidden motives behind the death of abortion rights. “Haunting, riveting and built around some of the most complex characters you’ll ever meet…” (Rebecca Traister)
They are going to K*ll people, investigative reporter forThe Nation Amy Littlefield knew, when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. After a decade covering abortion, she wanted to more deeply understand the motives, means, and opportunities behind the antiabortion movement’s victory. So she set out to investigate the murderers of Roe.
Killers of Roe chronicles Littlefield’s journey into the unexplored corners of the most successful social movement of our time. As in every good M**der mystery, the killers turn out to be the people you least suspect. Plot twists lurk around every corner as Littlefield meets believers, opportunists, and complicated heroes. Along the way, she encounters surprising characters who shed light on how we got to this moment of authoritarian rule: from the former fetus keeper standing trial in Michigan to the antiabortion militant turned long shot presidential candidate to the pro-choice superfans at the Reagan Library. Throughout the book, Littlefield draws upon women’s stories and her own experience as a mother to reveal the life-and-death stakes of America’s abortion wars.
At once clever and poignant reportage, this abortion whodunit uncovers the deeper story of how we lost Roe—and how we will win back so much more.
