Choices : Women Speak Out About AbortionKaren A. Schneider(Editor), et al / Paperback / Published February 1998

Choices is an unapologetically one-sided glimpse of the rough roads traveled by many American women seeking abortions. This slim, eloquent volume has its share of hard cases--one woman was raped, another was carrying a baby not expected to live long after birth. It testifies passionately to what it was like to beg for a therapeutic abortion or go through the frightening ordeal of finding and surviving an illegal operation. If you can't trust a woman with a choice, says an actress forever scarred by a back-alley abortion, how can you trust her with a child? S...

A recurring theme throughout Anna Quindlen's How Reading Changed My Life is the comforting premise that readers are never alone. "There was waking, and there was sleeping. And then there were books," she writes, "a kind of parallel universe in which anything might happen and frequently did, a universe in which I might be a newcomer but never really a stranger. My real, true world." Later, she quotes editor Hazel Rochman: "Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but, most important, it finds homes for us everywhere." Indeed, Quindlen's essays are full of the names of "fr...
