  • Involuntary Sterilization in the United States: a Surgical Solution
    VOLUME 62, No.2 THE QUARTERLY REVIEW OF BIOLOGY JUNE 1987 INVOLUNTARY STERILIZATION IN THE UNITED STATES: A SURGICAL SOLUTION PHILIP R. REILLY Eunice Kennedy Shriver Center, Waltham) Massachusetts 02254 USA ABSTRACT Although the eugenics movement in the United Statesflourished during the first quarter ofthe 20th Century, its roots lie in concerns over the cost ofcaring for ((defective" persons, concerns that first became manifest in the 19th Century. The history ofstate-supported programs ofinvoluntary sterili­ zation indicates that this ((surgical solution" persisted until the 1950s. A review of the archives ofprominent eugenicists, the records ofeugenic organizations, important legal cases, and state reports indicates that public support for the involuntary sterilization ofinsane and retarded persons was broad and sustained. During the early 1930s there was a dramatic increase in the number ofsterilizations performed upon mildly retardedyoung women. This change in policy was aproduct ofthe Depression. Institu­ tional officials were concerned that such women might bear children for whom they could not provide adequate parental care, and thus would put more demands on strained sodal services. There is little evidence to suggest that the excesses of the J.Vazi sterilization program (initiated in 1934) altered American programs. Data are presented here to show that a number ofstate-supported eu­ genic sterilization programs were quite active long after scientists had refuted the eugenic thesis.

  • From Far More Different Angles: Institutions for the Mentally Retarded in the South, 1900-1940
    "FROM FAR MORE DIFFERENT ANGLES": INSTITUTIONS FOR THE MENTALLY RETARDED IN THE SOUTH, 1900-1940 By STEVEN NOLL A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1991 To Dorothy and Fred Noll, and Tillie Braun. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the five years this work has consumed my life, I have accumulated more debts than I care to imagine- I can never repay them; all I can do is acknowledge them with heartfelt thanks and hope I haven't left anyone out. The financial help provided by the University of Florida Department of History was essential, for without it, this project could not have even been started, much less completed. I would also like to thank the Rockefeller Archive Center, Pocantico Hills, New York and the North Caroliniana Society of Chapel Hill, North Carolina for their travel to collection grants which enabled me to conduct much of my research. My supervising committee has provided me with guidance, support, and help at every step of the process. Special thanks to Kermit Hall, my chairman, for his faith in my abilities and his knack for discovering the truly meaningful in my work. He always found time for my harried questions, even in the middle of an incredibly busy schedule. The other committee members, Robert Hatch, Michael Radelet, Bertram Wyatt-Brown, and Robert Zieger, all provided valuable intellectual advice and guidance. Michael Radelet also proved that good teaching, good research, and social 111 activism are not mutually exclusive variables.

  • Rural Extension Work of the Kentucky Birth Control League, 1933–1942
    “Completely Sold on Birth Control”: Rural Extension Work of the Kentucky Birth Control League, 1933–1942 By Courtney Kisat In August 1939, after years of seeking birth control for her rural patients, community health nurse Lutrella Baker from the Line Fork Settlement in southeastern Kentucky wrote to Jean Tachau, president of the Kentucky Birth Control League (KBCL) in Louisville. “At last I have some grand news to report,” she exclaimed, “There is a new doctor at Pine Mountain Settlement School . [and] he is completely sold on birth control, especially as he sees conditions here.”1 Tachau and Baker went on to organize supplies for the clinic at Line Fork, a successful outcome of rural extension work from the KBCL. The birth control movement grew throughout the 1930s, and state affiliates of the American Birth Control League (ABCL) operated clinics that served thousands of women.2 The KBCL was the fifteenth state affiliate of the ABCL and like other state leagues, they success- fully established birth control clinics in urban areas such as Louisville and Lexington. But unlike other states, the Kentucky State Board of Health did not support birth control as a public health initiative, so county clinics offered no form of contraception. The KBCL filled that void with state extension work in rural counties. The initiative 1 Lutrella Baker to Jean Tachau, August 16, 1939, Box 1, Folder 12, Family Planning in Kentucky Collection, Kentucky Historical Society Collections, Frankfort, Ky., (hereinafter Family Planning in Kentucky Collection, KHS). 2 On the extent of the ABCL work with state leagues, see Catherine Moran Hajo, Birth Control on Main Street: Organizing Clinics in the United States, 1916–1939 (Urbana, Ill., 2010).
