Research material for illegal 'back street' abortions

Hi, I hope this is the right place.

I need to research illegal abortion in the 1920's. I've found & ordered a book called Back Rooms: Voices from the Illegal Abortion Era.

But I'm dubious about using some of the internet data because there's no guarantee its true or accurate so I've been trying to find a book but I can't. I need to research not the ethics exactly, but the reality of them: what kind of women had them, what procedures were used, where were they carried out, the view of society towards them & the experiences of women involved.

Does anybody know of a book I could use please?

thanks

I've been poking around in the Wellcome Library - here's one option, if you search just on 'abortion' there's quite a lot there.
