- About Me
I am professor of American women and medicine at California State University, Sacramento. I write about reprodutive justice and women’s reproductive health in America. My first book, Fit to Be Tied: Sterilization and Reproductive Rights in America, 1950-1980 (Rutgers University Press, 2009), won the Francis Richardson Keller-Sierra Award for best monograph from the Western Association of Women’s Historians. I have published on the history of abortion and eugenics and am currently working on a manuscript about efforts to establish fetal personhood in America titled Birth Rights: A History of Personhood and Reproductive Justice.
