Resumen del Editor
First published in 1997, The Story of Jane recounts the evolution of Jane, the underground group in Chicago that performed abortion services before the procedure was legalized. An extraordinary history by one of its members, this is the first account of Jane's evolution, the conflicts within the group, and the impact its work had both on the women it helped and the members themselves.
This audiobook stands as a compelling testament to a woman's most essential freedom - control over her own body - and to the power of women helping women.
A movie based on the book, titled This Is Jane, is being produced by Amazon Studios, with Michelle Williams attached to star.

In the 1950s, a young Indianapolis minister named Jim Jones preached a curious blend of the gospel and Marxism. His congregation was racially mixed, and he was a leader in the early civil rights movement. Eventually, Jones moved his church, Peoples Temple, to northern California, where he got involved in electoral politics and became a prominent Bay Area leader. But underneath the surface lurked a terrible darkness.

Scientology, created in 1954 by a prolific sci-fi writer named L. Ron Hubbard, claims to be the world's fastest-growing religion, with millions of members around the world and huge financial holdings. Its celebrity believers keep its profile high, and its teams of "volunteer ministers" offer aid at disaster sites such as Haiti and the World Trade Center. But Scientology is also a notably closed faith, harassing journalists and others through litigation and intimidation, even infiltrating the highest levels of government to further its goals.

When the local iron mine began hiring women in 1975, Lois Jenson, a single mother on welfare, didn't think twice about accepting the grueling but well-paid job. What she hadn't considered was that she was entering a male-dominated society that fiercely resisted the inclusion of women, a prejudice born out in the brutal harassment of every female miner.

Who are the children of foster care? What, as a country, do we owe them? Cris Beam, a foster mother herself, spent five years immersed in the world of foster care looking into these questions and tracing firsthand stories. The result is To the End of June, an unforgettable portrait that takes us deep inside the lives of foster children in their search for a stable, loving family. Beam shows us the intricacies of growing up in the system - the back-and-forth with agencies, the rootless shuffling between homes, the emotionally charged tug between foster and birth parents.

There’s a quiet revolution happening in the way we die. More than 1.5 million Americans a year die in hospice care - nearly 44 percent of all deaths - and a vast industry has sprung up to meet the growing demand. Once viewed as a New Age indulgence, hospice is now a $14 billion business and one of the most successful segments in health care. Changing the Way We Die, by award-winning journalists Fran Smith and Sheila Himmel, is the first book to take a broad, penetrating look at the hospice landscape.

Poet, memoirist, labor organizer, and Episcopal priest, Pauli Murray helped transform the law of the land. Arrested in 1940 for sitting in the whites-only section of a Virginia bus, Murray propelled that life-defining event into a Howard law degree and a fight against "Jane Crow" sexism. Now Murray is finally getting long-deserved recognition: The first African American woman to receive a doctorate of law at Yale, her name graces one of the university's new colleges.

On a cool, overcast afternoon in April 2016, a salacious tip arrived at the L.A. Times that reporter Paul Pringle thought should have taken, at most, a few weeks to check out: a drug overdose at a fancy hotel involving one of the University of Southern California’s shiniest stars—Dr. Carmen Puliafito, the head of the prestigious medical school. Pringle, who’d long done battle with USC and its almost impenetrable culture of silence, knew reporting the story wouldn’t be a walk in the park. USC is the largest private employer in the city of L.A., and it casts a long shadow.

A riveting, powerful telling of the story of the grassroots movement of activists, many of them in a life-or-death struggle, who seized upon scientific research to help develop the drugs that turned HIV from a mostly fatal infection to a manageable disease. Ignored by public officials, religious leaders, and the nation at large, and confronted with shame and hatred, this small group of men and women chose to fight for their right to live by educating themselves and demanding to become full partners in the race for effective treatments.

So important right now... in 2022
I, like so many others, was devastated by the June 2022 Suprem Court ruling which overturned Roe v Wade. I then stumbled upon this book. I was born in 1973, so I've never lived, until now, during a time when abortions were illegal in America. This book was so insightful as to what that was like. I was also utterly gobsmacked to learn that there were many Baptist leaders supporting the woman's right to choose safe abortions. My, how things have changed. I found this book to not only be well written and an enjoyable listen, but also so very informative and inspiring.

4/5 Estrellas
Things have to be pretty terrible to force you to act.
En conmemoración del día internacional de la mujer decidí elegir una lectura cuyo tema central fuera algo relacionado con el feminismo. The history of Jane trae a la luz una increíble historia basada en hechos verídicos, donde un grupo de mujeres decidió unir fuerzas para iniciar un servicio en pro del aborto en el año de 1971, cuando tales acciones eran penadas por la ley. Desde su fundación nos vamos adentrando de la mano de una de sus miembros, siguiéndolas desde sus orígenes contactando y buscando doctores capaces de realizar los abortos (cobrando 500 dlls por operación), hasta el punto donde ellas mismas están realizando el procedimiento, cobrando a las mujeres 100 dlls (o lo que ellas pudieran aportar).
Es una historia llenas de agallas, valor y resiliencia. Una lectura imperdible para conmemorar el 8 de Marzo, sin importar si quien lo lee es una persona que reside en los EEUU.
Fue particularmente duro de escuchar dado que el libro cierra tras la aprobación de Roe V Wade en 1973; es increíble el retroceso histórico al que se llego en 2022, con la abolición de esa misma propuesta. Bien dijo Simone de Beauvoir:
"No olvidéis jamás que bastara una crisis política, económica o religiosa para que lo derechos de las mujeres vuelvan a ser cuestionados. Estos derechos nunca se dan por adquiridos, debéis permanecer vigilantes toda vuestra vida."
Hubo momentos que llegaron a sentirse repetitivos a lo largo del libro pero en general es una lectura imperdible que no dudare en recomendar a cada oportunidad que se me presente.

Abortion is normal, and always has been.
This book illustrates everything you need to know about women and what they can accomplish. These women were remarkably responsible and professional. Their above and beyond care put the medical profession to shame. It still does. I thank the author for putting a spotlight on so much that’s been all but forgotten.

These women created a great clinic. We can do it too! This is no time to follow “the law”.” This basic right has been snatched from us without even a vote. Outrageous!!

Essential history & organizing primer
You can listen to this as a history of women's liberation viewed through the lens of women banding together to provide safe abortion services, or you can listen to it as a primer on underground social organizing. It works on both levels. What is particularly important is that Kaplan pulls no punches dissecting both the group's successes and shortcomings.
This is literally unknown ground for most people, and Kaplan covers it thoroughly and with great sensitivity. If you are resolutely anti-abortion you can still listen to this with profit if you can get beyond your knee-jerk negative reaction to the topic.
Narration is clear and workmanlike -- does not either add or detract.

A band of women seeing a need and filling it. A group of clergy, doctors and police that helped. No extremists, just respecting autonomy and real life issues.

Salient, fascinating, amazing history
I am inspired by the process that Jane went through in transforming the landscape of the world as we know it and serving - and empowering - so many women.

Important Womens & Healthcare History
The story of Jane - an underground abortion network pre-Roe v Wade - is important history to know. Some of the points that really struck a chord with me:
- Women’s bodies were long misunderstood by the medical profession and also by women themselves. Sadly, this is likely still true.
- When there is an issue that needs to be addressed, never underestimate the power of strong, organized women.
- Sex education that is factually based is an absolutely essential. Once again this is sadly lacking for many.
While at times I found the book repetitive, I ultimately decided that was necessary when laying out the history and progression of what occurred during the years of Jane. The women in this group absolutely amaze me for many reasons and are inspirational. If you are into history, particularly that of women and/or healthcare, this is well worth a read.

The story of underground organization Jane
This audiobook is about the secret underground group called Jane. They were a women member group that provided secret abortions to women and as they progressed offered it for free. The story starts good and gets into a repeating phase during the middle unit the end with a busy and legalization. I was surprised never having heard of Jane and the narrator is easy to hear and understand. A book that has unfortunately been relevant to today’s world
