Report of the Committee of Inquiry into the Various Aspects of the Problem of Abortion in New Zealand

New Zealand. Committee of Inquiry into various aspects of the Problem of Abortion in New Zealand and David Gervan McMillan

Official inquiries rarely make history, but this one documents a nation confronting a hidden subject. New Zealand's 1937 committee of inquiry reports its findings on the extent, causes and consequences of abortion, laid before the House of Representatives. A primary source for historians of medicine, law and women's lives. The state's own words, on the record.
