‘wide-ranging, defiant and impassioned’ – Fiona Wright, author of The World Was Whole
What does it mean to terminate a pregnancy?
In Tissue, Madison Griffiths turns her keen eye to the topic of abortion in a meditative and personal look at a procedure that is common yet vilified, championed yet sometimes grieved. Tissue looks at the feelings of guilt around choice, exploring the language we use, or don’t, and how the silence shapes the way we think and feel about the act.
Abortion has many facets. Tissue lays each of them bare, meticulously unravelling how the world-at-large responds to abortion, inviting us into the messy and complex realities imbedded in such a politicised act of agency.
At a time when women around the world are losing their right to access safe abortion, this book is needed more than ever.
