"Canadian Authors Pick Their Favourite Books: 'Wells's descriptions of political action in the days before social media and #MeToo are at times witty and always fascinating'-Charlotte Gray."

--Charlotte Gray "The Walrus"

"It is easy to underestimate the significance of the Abortion Caravan. ... But Wells's powerful book affirms that such ongoing obstacles to women's autonomy and reproductive rights are why the Abortion Caravan matters more than ever."

-- "Quill & Quire"
"The Abortion Caravan is an excellent account that is a gripping read and a fascinating analysis of women's politicization. There is a lot of detail in Wells' book, all of it told in her chatty radio voice."-- "Canada's History"
A few years ago I researched the Abortion Caravan and found it difficult to locate much verifiable information. It isn't a well-known event, but this book will change that. Karin Wells' The Abortion Caravan will be essential reading for all Canadian women. It will teach them, or remind them, of how hard women in the past worked to overcome barriers. It is a reminder that complacency is not an option -- and that we still have a long way to go.-- "The British Columbia Review"
I will say that I was - and remain - a feminist, and that I supported the struggle for legalized abortion. I was part of the Thunder Bay group that greeted the Caravaners, and I did play a small, ignominious part in that event. Because of that, Karin Wells interviewed me for this book and included a photo taken at the time. (Oh, to be 20 again and enjoy photos of yourself.) But I'm not going to go into futher details about that. If you're interested, buy the book. (Actually, even if you're not, buy the book: it's a part of our history and should be required reading in schools.)-- "Margie Taylor"
Wells's narration is suffused with humor, detailing the events and personalities with warmth. She excels in bringing out the multilayered voices of these lively, brave women, who fought hard to make their voices heard.-- "Library Journal"
