In this first chapter of her visual investigation, A History of Misogyny, Laia Abril documents and conceptualizes the dangers and physical, psychological, and social consequences faced by women who lack access to safe and free abortion, and how they are legally punished for it.
The book's narrative is based on meticulous research and documentary compilation, in which the author analyzes the past and present, comparing different contraceptive methods and testimonies from diverse historical and cultural contexts; highlighting, in particular, the ongoing erosion of women's reproductive rights to this day.
