Abstract

AbstractThis short article provides a coda to the special forum on ‘Reproductive Rights Beyond Roe’. It merges the history of abortion with what Stéphane Gerson calls ‘personal family history’ to consider how historians should imagine, remember and narrativise histories of abortions within their own families and networks of kin. The article does this by way of exploring the life of Florence P. Evans, the author's great aunt, who died of abortion‐related complications in 1935 at the age of twenty‐two years.
