EP 70: Criminal Abortion History (Featuring Special Guest: Author, Historian, and Professor, Alicia Gutierrez-Romine)
This week on Hashtag History, we are so honored and so excited to have the amazing Alicia Gutierrez-Romine on the podcast! Alicia is an author, historian, and professor that recently published her book titled "From Back Alley to the Border: Criminal Abortion in California, 1920-1969".
In this episode, we get to ask Alicia all of the questions about the history of criminal abortions. This conversation included how eugenics and California's movie industry played a role in abortion history, the disparity between white women and women of color in the abortion space, common misconceptions about abortions and the women seeking them, and the current state of abortions here in America.
We highly recommend checking out Alicia's book at www.nebraskapress.unl.edu or www.amazon.com.
