LERER LISA THE FALL OF ROE

In June 2022  Americans watched in shock as the Supreme Court reversed one of the nation' s
landmark rulings. For nearly a half century  Roe was synonymous with women' s rights and
freedoms. Then  suddenly  it was gone.  In their groundbreaking book The Fall of Roe  
Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer reveal the explosive inside story of how it happened. Their
investigation charts the shocking political and religious campaign to take down abortion rights
and remake American families  womanhood  and the nation itself.  Reeling from Barack Obama'
s 2012 landslide presidential victory - and motivated by a spiritual mission - a small but
determined network of elite conservative Christian lawyers and powerbrokers worked quietly and
methodically to keep their true cause alive: ending abortion rights. They devised a strategic 
top-down takeover at every level of political and legal life. Broad swaths of liberal America
did not register the severity of the threat until it was far too late. At a moment when women
had more power than ever before  the feminist movement suffered one of the greatest political
defeats in American history.  With stunning scope  journalistic rigour  and unprecedented
access to the highest echelons of conservative and liberal power  Dias and Lerer chronicle the
end of the Roe era. Their reporting stretches from inside abortion clinics to the halls of the
White House  exposing powerful behind-the-scenes actors and recasting the actions of those
already in the spotlight. The result is a sweeping and intimate narrative of secrets  power 
jaw-dropping revelations  and a beacon to guide us forward.
