"Whose Business Is It Anyway? Or, How the American Birth Control League Waged Battle Against Commercial Birth Control Clinics in the 1930s"
Dr. Rose Holz (Women's and Gender Studies Program, UNL)
Drawing upon her recent book on the history of Planned Parenthood, Holz will describe the birth control clinic movement in the 1930s, which witnessed the emergence not just of the more commonly described charity clinics but also commercial ones. What Holz reveals is an unexpected story ― about the breadth of the clinic movement and the charity movement’s efforts to contain it.
