Description: Norma McCorvey led a very hard life, bringing her to the point of having a third unexpected pregnancy. Through an unlikely series of events she got connected with two young female attorneys who were ready to file a pro abortion lawsuit and needed a plaintiff; thus, Norma became Jane Roe.She remained anonymous and was not adopted as a public representative for the cause because of her poverty, her rough exterior and temper, her circumstances, and the fact that she was a lesbian. Eventually, she "came out" as Jane Roe and got involved in the pro choice movement. The book, published in 1994, ends with a speech she wrote and delivered which seems to indicate she was feeling more whole and was becoming comfortable in her own skin and her role in history.In 1994, Norma wanted this book published because the right to choose was in danger of being overturned. It took 30 more years but the right is gone.Additional research shows that Norma later became Christian/Catholic and spoke out against abortion for many years.
