The Life of a Girl Named Merle is an autobiography of my life. While I was born and raised in a big city, I am more of a country girl at heart. I had a good childhood, worked most of my life, and married with a family of my own. I had good times, funny times, exciting times, and some sad times, but most of all, a wonderful life. My name is special to me as you will read in my story. You can say it's my name that made me strong. So the point is, a title is just a title, like a book is just a book; but it is the contents, along with its title, that tells the story.

In 1971 (two years before the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision to legalise abortion in the United States), Hoffman founded Choices, an abortion clinic in New York.

And going against even her own expectations for her life after fifty, she adopted a child and writes about her experience as a mother. Merle Hoffman has been on the front lines of the feminist movement, a fierce warrior in the battle for choice.
