Book Description
Abortion remains legal in the US, but access has been slowly eroded since prohibition was ruled unconstitutional nearly fifty years ago. Simultaneously abortion remains culturally stigmatised – it is kept secret and presumed shameful. But feminist activists are working to increase access and challenge this stigma. Numerous organisations and campaigns are challenging abortion stigma using the internet and social media and intersectional feminist sensibilities. From A Whisper to a Shout takes a closer look at four of these organisations – #ShoutYourAbortion, Lady Parts Justice, #WeTestify, and The Abortion Diary – and how they are integrating feminist tactics, social media, and political strategies to challenge abortion stigma and promote abortion access.

Book Description
Whispers Roar; Roars Whisper, through the display of sixty poems, lends particular insight to relationship dynamics and takes turns with humor and despair, lust and evolvement, attempted indifference and utter passion. It spotlights--in greatest measure--the man/woman interaction (whether overtly or by suggestion), the individual quandary, and even the parent/child energy. Whispers Roar; Roars Whisper is tantamount to a self-improvement work of literature--but in verse, and without being pedantic. Intrinsic to the poetic stories, which are honestly and openly expressed (truly, in a no-holds-barred fashion), are life issues and lessons that, due to their sincere presentation, engagingly envelop the reader and are, ultimately, an entertaining compilation. "Kai Adwoa has an excellent grasp on humanity. She allows her emotions to flow in any direction without her intellect navigating them. This allows her to compose superb poetry on the entire spectrum of human emotions." --Anthony A. Thomas, Psychologist "I found Kai Adwoa's poetry to be both brilliant and passionate." --Barbara Butts, Educator

Book Description
A New York Times bestseller and one of 2019's best-reviewed books, a poetic memoir and call to action from the award-winning author of Speak, Laurie Halse Anderson! Bestselling author Laurie Halse Anderson is known for the unflinching way she writes about, and advocates for, survivors of sexual assault. Now, inspired by her fans and enraged by how little in our culture has changed since her groundbreaking novel Speak was first published twenty years ago, she has written a poetry memoir that is as vulnerable as it is rallying, as timely as it is timeless. In free verse, Anderson shares reflections, rants, and calls to action woven between deeply personal stories from her life that she's never written about before. Described as "powerful," "captivating," and "essential" in the nine starred reviews it's received, this must-read memoir is being hailed as one of 2019's best books for teens and adults. A denouncement of our society's failures and a love letter to all the people with the courage to say #MeToo and #TimesUp, whether aloud, online, or only in their own hearts, SHOUT speaks truth to power in a loud, clear voice-- and once you hear it, it is impossible to ignore.
