The girls who went away
the hidden history of women who surrendered children for adoption in the decades before Roe v. Wade
Describes the experiences of single women pressured into giving babies up for adoption between 1945 and 1973, drawing from interviews with more than one hundred women to discuss social attitudes of the time, the shaming and confinement women in this situation faced, and the impact the experience had on the rest of their lives.
