Magic Misoprostol

‘I truly enjoyed reading Magic Misoprostol and found it thought-provoking, especially in the way Freeman talks about taking misoprostol out of the strictly biomedical realm and watching as feminists move it through social channels not sanctioned by states. Freeman importantly centers the Latin American feminist movement(s), since it's still too rare to read English-language accounts of the incredible vitality and energy that Latin American activists have contributed. In all, Freeman adroitly explains how Latin American feminists used misoprostol to support women, liberating safe abortion from state and biomedical control.’ Lynn M. Morgan, Mount Holyoke College ‘In this terrific and creative book, Freeman centres the stories of those who make the magic of misoprostol possible. Magic Misoprostol brilliantly recounts how Latin American acompañantes became magicians, using misoprostol to secure reproductive autonomy in spite of abortion bans.’ Michelle Oberman, author of Her Body, Our Laws: On the Frontlines of the Abortion War from El Salvador to Oklahoma
