`It is a woman's right. It is the expression of her autonomy to
claim uncompromising power over her own body and the determination
of her own future. It is overcoming motherhood as a biological
destiny.' `Pela Vida das Mulheres' was the chant that Brazilians
took to the streets to fight for reproductive rights. Just like
those protests, this book is a call to action for activists and
lawmakers around the world. For over two years, Camila Cavalcante
travelled around Brazil meeting women who have had or who have
witnessed illegal abortions. She photographed fifty women who
shared their stories with her. The collection of portraits is both
deeply personal and deeply political. Cavalcante uses the naked
female form to challenge the dangerous reproductive laws of Brazil.
She exposes her body and identity on behalf of these women in an
act of solidarity, as well as subversion. Within this context, For
the Lives of All Women/Pela Vida das Mulheres is an act of
rebellion in itself.
