AFTER SEX
co-edited with Alice Spawls
Silver Press| November 2023
Who decides what happens after sex? The last decade has seen arguments over women’s reproductive freedom reminiscent of the 1960s and 1970s. After Sex provides personal and political perspectives from the mid-twentieth century to the present day, setting feminist classics alongside contemporary accounts and highlighting the experiences of women of colour and working-class women. This collection looks to the horizons of possibility and makes urgent connections between women’s equality and contraceptives, universal access to healthcare and free childcare. The writers pay special attention to people—both fictional and real—who have sought control over their sexual lives. After Sex is a literary journey with essays, poems, and short stories which illuminates why people need free and universal access to abortion—without apology.
