About this listen

In 1970s Dublin, all forms of contraception are strictly forbidden, but an intrepid group of women will risk everything to change that in this “heartbreaking, powerful, and ultimately uplifting” (Amanda Geard, author of The Midnight House) novel inspired by a 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 another pregnancy 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 an “inspiring novel about the liberating paths blazed by Irish women” (Kirkus Reviews) and how much farther we still have to go.©2025 Laura Anthony (P)2025 Simon & Schuster Audio

This bit of history and how the women in Ireland stood up to a law which caused so much heartache and death is something I did not know. How ignorant we are of issues in other countries. I lived through the late 60’s and early 70’s. Contraception was readily available and accepted in the USA. We women didn’t have to deal with what the Irish women did. Such bravery of those women on May 22, 1971. Wonderful story and great narration.

Fabulous story!
