Solinger, Rickie The Abortionist : A Woman Against the Law
New York Free Press, 1994 0029298652 / 9780029298657 Hard Cover
253 pages, 4 plates, cloth, dust jacket, 1st edition, very good. >From William Beatty - BookList, 'The abortionist, Ruth Barnett, had an abortion herself as a teenager in 1911. This experience led her eventually into a 50-year career in which she performed some 40,000 abortions. Solinger has drawn on Barnett's unpublished memoir and diaries, her daughter Maggie's memoir, and many interviews to produce a lively and graphic account of abortion from the time when it was illegal but overlooked on into the 1950s and 1960s, when it was not only illegal but prosecuted. As an assistant to accomplished abortionists before she started out on her own, Barnett learned her business well. She developed a large and attractive clinic in an office building in downtown Portland, Oregon. Some 80 percent of her patients were referred by physicians (Barnett did not have an M.D.), and her lifetime earnings amounted to $17,000,000. But after World War II, she was in court and jail several times. Besides limning her career, Solinger shows how and why attitudes toward abortions and abortionists changed.'
