About this listen
1974. A 22-year-old Jacqui French stands for a photograph in Omaha, Nebraska, thousands of miles from home.
In 2022, the US Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, restricting access to abortion across America. The decision mirrored a global trend towards a devastating unravelling of women’s freedoms; a reversal of hard-won progress, and a battle that continues to be fought on both sides of the Atlantic.
Following in the footsteps of her mother fifty years before her, Marisa Bate is galvanised to journey across America, meeting the women on the ground, and telling the stories behind the headlines. Examining half a century of feminist struggle in the UK and the US, she also finds herself tracing the roots of her own family, seamlessly interweaving the personal with the political.
Lyrical, poignant, and bursting with defiant hope, And Still We March is an urgent and perceptive dissection of female autonomy, motherhood, and a woman’s right to choose.
A ‘beguiling feminist memoir’ Lindsey Hilsum

‘A book that leaves its reader with something priceless: a fresh, fierce determination to hope.’ Natasha Lunn
‘Marisa Bate is a richly talented writer and Wild Hope bursts with fury, passion and love. It's hard to put down and even harder to forget.’

‘Bate takes us on an ambitious journey that captures the spirit of the 1970s, and reminds us that we still have much to fight and hope for.’
