We named her sorrow : an exploration of the experience of abortion from a mother’s perspective / by Chelsea Borror-Mastandrea.

Abortion is one of the most contentious issues of our day and has been for decades with seemingly no change in sight. The external and public arguments in support and opposition are wholly internalized among women. Through personal composition, the feelings which women experience are revealed and explained through an Althusserian and psychoanalytic lens. Not only does the exposition have implications for women who have had abortions, but for all mothers and their maternal identities.
