Tissue
‘Wide-ranging, defiant and impassioned’ – Fiona Wright, author of The World Was Whole
What does it mean to terminate a pregnancy?
In Tissue, Madison Griffiths turns her keen eye to the topic of abortion in a meditative and personal look at a procedure that is common yet vilified, championed yet sometimes grieved. Tissue looks at the feelings of guilt around choice, exploring the language we use, or don’t, and how the silence shapes the way we think and feel about the act.
Abortion has many facets. Tissue lays each of them bare, meticulously unravelling how the world-at-large responds to abortion, inviting us into the messy and complex realities imbedded in such a politicised act of agency.
At a time when women around the world are losing their right to access safe abortion, this book is needed more than ever.
‘Fierce, poetic and unflinching, Griffiths pulls no punches as she explores what it looks like to find and honour your agency.’ Lucinda Price, author of All I Ever Wanted Was to Be Hot
‘A sincere book that curiously and compassionately makes a compelling case for love and choice.’ Gina Rushton, author of The Most Important Job in the World
‘With smart, beautifully written discussion, Griffiths lays bare the discourse of privilege and choice, addressing what it is to go up against the cultural expectations and condemnations put to those who exercise their human right to choose’ Books+Publishing

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
