The Women on Platform Two by Laura Anthony
In 1970s Dublin, all forms of contraception are strictly forbidden, but an intrepid group of women will risk everything to change that in this sweeping, timely novel inspired by a remarkable and little-known true story.
Dublin, 1969: Maura has just married Dr. Christy Davenport and they look forward to growing their family. But as her husband’s vicious temper emerges, Maura worries that her home might never be safe for a child. Meanwhile, her close friend Bernie, a mother of three, learns the devastating news that if she conceives again, her health complications could prove fatal.
Dublin, 2023: A close call makes Saoirse realize that she may never want to be a mother. Little does she know that only a few decades ago, a group of women made this option possible for her. And she’s about to meet one of them…
The Women on Platform Two is a haunting, powerful story of feminine resistance and resilience that reminds us all of where we started—and how far we still have to go.
Our Review -
This novel tackles serious issues head-on—domestic violence, pregnancy loss, sexual assault, reproductive rights, and health inequalities are all thoughtfully examined. It serves as a poignant reminder of a not-so-distant past when women were not just discouraged from accessing contraception but were legally prohibited from it. It’s hard to believe that such limitations were part of our recent history.
What truly stands out in this narrative is the unwavering support among women. Their strength and courage shine brightly, showing how even the smallest acts of resistance can create a path for future generations. The character development is remarkable; We found ourselves fully engaged in their stories, cheering them on at every step.
In summary, “The Women on Platform Two” is a compelling and essential read that highlights a significant chapter in women’s history. We highly recommend it.
