In 1969 Dublin, Maura and Bernie confront dangerous choices around motherhood, while in 2023, Saoirse?s hesitation about having children connects her to a hidden history of women?s resilience that shaped her freedom to choose.
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.
