W monografii Gender, Voice, and Violence in Poland: Women’s Protests during the Pandemic redaktorzy Adrianna Zabrzewska i Joshua K. Dubrow zebrali różnorodne głosy, aby stworzyć migawkę burzliwych czasów w społeczeństwie polskim, kiedy to wskutek radykalnego ograniczenia dostępu do aborcji przez Trybunał Konstytucyjny jesienią 2020 roku w warunkach pandemii COVID-19 doszło do niespotykanych dotąd protestów społecznych. Za pośrednictwem głosów aktywistów, polityków i naukowców redaktorzy przedstawiają szerszy kontekst władzy, protestów i walk ruchów pro-choice i podobnych w Polsce. Monografia nie tylko dokumentuje same wydarzenia, lecz stanowi także bogate źródło informacji zarówno dla badaczy, nauczycieli, jak i aktywistów.

In the monograph Gender, Voice, and Violence in Poland: Women’s Protests during the Pandemic, editors Adrianna Zabrzewska and Joshua K. Dubrow have compiled a variety of voices to create a snapshot of a tumultuous time in Polish society, when, in autumn of 2020, the Constitutional Tribunal limited the already heavily restricted abortion access, and unprecedented street protests ensued in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through the voices of activists, politicians and academics, the editors provide the wider context of the ruling, the protests, and the struggles of the pro-choice and adjacent movements in Poland. Besides documenting these events, the monograph represents an expansive resource for researchers, teachers, and activists alike.
