The Dobbs decision has returned us to the past, and lines of decency, tolerance, and understanding have been broken—no, erased! Womxn are fighting for bodily autonomy again, when much more is also being (or has been) overturned in recent years, from the gutting of the Voting Rights Act and DEIB initiatives to the abandoning of ecological care. The Overturning is a direct literary response to this intersectional crisis. As writers and editors, we cannot sit back and do nothing while the spirit of America bleeds out.
