Repeal the 8th is an anthology I edited, published by Unbound in 2018.
It is a collection of stories, essays, poetry and art inspired by and emerging from the movement for reproductive rights in Ireland, which culminated in the successful referendum to repeal Ireland’s constitutional ban on abortion in 2018.
Here are some reviews and press:
