In the wake of the reversal of Roe v. Wade in 2022, Abortion in International Popular Culture: The Decision Heard Round the World examines representations of abortion and reproductive justice across a wide range of popular culture artifacts, literary texts, and activist movements across the world. Contributors analyze examples from Chile, Italy, Malta, Sweden, Canada, France, the U.K., Argentina, Ireland, and Poland to consider the relationships between art and public policy, the impact of American policy on global policy and pro-choice movements, and the transnational influence of cultural representations of abortion.

Reviews for Abortion in International Popular Culture: The Decision Heard Round the World

""This collection of essays manages to offer enduring analyses of a (sadly) very acute issue. Without losing academic depth and rigor, it is an important and convincing advocacy work not only for abortion rights but also popular culture and its ability to de-marginalize reproductive choices."" --Cornelia Klecker, University of Innsbruck ""Timely and powerful, Abortion in International Popular Culture explores abortion in mediums as diverse as graphic novels, novels, autobiography, feminist symbols, discursive activism, film, and theatre. Following on from their previous edited collection, this time the authors travel across contexts including Italy, Ireland, Argentina, Chile, Malta, and Poland to illustrate the power of popular culture to share abortion information, challenge abortion stigma, and fight for reproductive justice. A rich and engaging read, this book will be of interest to media and popular culture scholars as much as those interested in abortion and reproduction more broadly."" --Cordelia Freeman, University of Exeter
