Four years before the legalization of the contraceptive pill and twelve years before the Veil Law, this autobiographical account describes the obstacle course of a young student to have an abortion. She is then surrounded, although left to herself, by a gynecologist, her boyfriend, an angel maker, and her roommate. She is willing to do anything to have an abortion, even to break the law, because "as usual, it was impossible to determine whether the abortion was prohibited because it was wrong, or whether it was wrong because it was forbidden ". This book shows how a young woman deemed too free faces rejection from doctors, contemptuous looks, taboos and class prejudice. Quantity
