Pioneering Feminist Leader in Women’s Health Passes Away at 91

Carol Downer, a prominent figure in the feminist movement and women's health advocacy, has passed away at the age of 91. Throughout her life, Downer dedicated herself to empowering women by opening clinics that provided essential reproductive health services. Her efforts were rooted in the belief that women should have access to accurate information about their bodies and health choices.

Downer was a strong proponent of a self-managed abortion technique that she believed was safe enough for women to perform themselves. This approach was controversial at the time, but she argued that it could help reduce the stigma surrounding abortion and allow women to take control of their reproductive choices.

Her work not only educated countless women about their reproductive health but also sparked important conversations around women's rights, autonomy, and access to healthcare. Downer's legacy will continue to inspire future generations of advocates in the ongoing fight for women's health and rights.
