Alicia Gutierrez-Romine is an associate professor of history at La Sierra University. She earned her doctorate degree in history from the University of Southern California in 2016. Her work so far has focused on illegal abortion in California and the borderlands before Roe v. Wade and has been published in Beyond the Borders of the Law: Critical Legal Histories of the North American West (University Press of Kansas, 2018) and most recently in her book From Back Alley to the Border: Criminal Abortion in California, 1920-1969 (University of Nebraska Press, 2020). She has been featured on CSPAN, where she has discussed her research on illegal abortion, and she is a regularly featured expert on the Science Channel’s Mysteries of the Abandoned and Secrets in the Jungle.
