anthology

I will have one of my essays (about being faced with a serious illness during my second pregnancy, and how I had to make the decision whether or not to have an abortion) included in this anthology:

KAREN BENDER (AUTHOR OF "LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE") and NINA dE GRAMONT (AUTHOR OF "OF CATS AND MEN") are the editors of CHOICE, an anthology of personal essays forthcoming from MACADAM/CAGE this fall.

CHOICE will tell the original stories behind different women’s choices regarding pregnancy, motherhood, and children in an effort to humanize the current debate about reproductive rights. With this unique collection, the editors’ foremost intention is to reflect the broad range of experiences surrounding motherhood and to show the world how important it is to preserve Roe v. Wade and the right to privacy –the right to live the very stories that CHOICE will tell. Contributors include include Francine Prose, Paula Fox, Ann Hood, Jacquelyn Mitchard, and Pam Houston.
