Leni Zumas joins us to talk about her novel, Red Clocks. Set in a dystopian alternative reality where abortion, in-vitro fertilization and other reproductive rights have been abolished. It is a reality that is a few short steps away from the present. It follows the lives of five women in a small Oregon town, examining what it means to be a woman in a world that seeks to constrict and control women's lives based on their biology.
