note = "“Crossing Troubled Waters is a thoughtful, in-depth exploration on the additional burdens (moral conservatism, patriarchal norms, and isolation to name a few) placed on those living on islands with restrictive abortion laws. A must read.” MARA CLARKE, founder Abortion Support Network “Crossing Troubled Waters provides an indispensable assessment of abortion politics and access in three island settings, using a complex feminist lens. The essays pay attention to the intersectional power of histories, geographies, belief systems, political processes, access issues, activisms, and social change. Thus, the collection as a whole provides remarkably dynamic analyses as well as comparative perspectives, within a global frame.” RICKIE SOLINGER, co-author Reproductive Justice: An Introduction, 2017 “Crossing Troubled Waters is an inspiring read! It insightfully elaborates how strategic acts of resistance over decades have dismantled the fortress mentality of island communities to improve women{\textquoteright}s access to abortion services, and their exercise of their reproductive rights.” REBECCA J. COOK, Professor Emerita \& Co-Director, International Reproductive and Sexual Health Law Programme, University of Toronto.",
