McKerrow Formally begun in 1914 under the leadership of Margaret Sanger, the birth control movement in the United States constitutes one of the longest and most important rights based struggles in American history. This work approaches the phrase birth control as an ideograph and deploys critical historiography to explore its evolving articulations within the movement’s rhetoric over the last 100 years. In doing so, this work builds on current scholarship in the fields of communication, history, and sociology by expanding existing discussions surrounding the struggle for reproductive rights generally and birth control specifically. Drawing primarily from archival materials and popular media sources, this work explores both how the movement articulated its demands and how these articulations played out in public discussions about birth control.

    eSharp Issue 9 Gender: Power and Authority Epistemic Gender, Sex Beyond the Flesh: Science, Medicine, and the Two-Sex Model in Modern America Howard Hsueh-Hao Chiang (Princeton University) In his acclaimed Making Sex (1990), Thomas Laqueur broaches the shifting conceptualization of sex in Western civilization from the one-sex model, in which men and women were thought to be two versions of a single-sexed body, to the two-sex model, which treated men and women as opposite counterparts.1 He argues that this dramatic switch took place around the Enlightenment period, and he mainly holds the changing epistemological and political contexts responsible, while suggesting that advancements in medicine and science maintained a relatively minor role in influencing the shift. The problem with Laqueur’s analysis is that it concludes with Freud at the end of the Victorian period. If one were to look at the impact of medicine and science from a broader perspective, extending the time horizon into the twentieth century, one would find Laqueur’s exposition insufficient. I should clarify from the outset that I have relatively little problem with Laqueur’s contention that the epistemological context of the Enlightenment has granted biology, as opposed to metaphysics, some foundational value in generating the two-sex model. In his words, As cultural and political pressures on the gender system mounted, a passionate and sustained interest in the anatomical and physiological dimorphism of the sexes was a response to the collapse of religion and metaphysics as the final authority for social arrangements. (Laqueur, 2003, p.306) Like many other scholars, I am indeed quite confident about Laqueur’s historical insight.2 But what I hope to do in the following pages is to situate 1 The author wishes to thank Alan S.

  • Roe's Race: the Supreme Court, Population Control, and Reproductive Justice

    Roe's Race: the Supreme Court, Population Control, and Reproductive Justice

    Roe's Race: The Supreme Court, Population Control, and Reproductive Justice Mary Ziegler t ABSTRACT: Questions of race and abortion have shaped current legal debates about defunding Planned Parenthood and banning race-selection abortion. In these discussions, abortion opponents draw a close connection between the eugenic or population-control movements of the twentieth century and the contemporary abortion-rights movement. In challenging legal restrictions on abortion, abortion-rights activists generally insist that their movement and its predecessors have primarily privileged reproductive choice. Notwithstanding the centrality of race to abortion politics, there has been no meaningful history of the racial politics of abortion that produced or followed Roe v. Wade. This Article bridges this gap in the abortion discussion by focusing on the racial politics of abortion in the 1970s. In the 1970s, some population controllers did have ties to the eugenic legal reform movement or a particular interest in limiting the growth of poor, non-white populations. Those most closely involved with the abortion-rights movement, however, primarily focused on family planning for white, middle-class families, emphasizing the importance of environmental stewardship and sexual liberation. Arguments treating the abortion-rights, population-control, and eugenics movements as indistinguishable from one another are flawed. At the same time, by reinterpreting Roe, feminists created new opportunities to reshape the racial politics of abortion. By defending their own understanding of the opinion against anti-abortion attack, feminists were able to redefine abortion as a right that belonged to women irrespective of its political consequences. In telling the story of Roe's racial politics, we can gain new insight into legislative battles on laws defunding Planned Parenthood or banning race- selection abortions.

THE POLITICS OF PROTECTION: THE FORGOTTEN HISTORY OF GEORGIA FEMINISTS AND DOE V. BOLTON by ALEXANDRA MCGEE Under the Direction of Wendy Venet, PhD ABSTRACT In this thesis, I will argue that Doe v. Bolton, 410 U.S. 179 (1973), a United States Supreme Court case originating in Georgia, enabled all women access to abortion, including groups of marginalized women previously denied this right. An examination of the background of Doe uncovers the roles played by Georgia feminists and the medical community. By comparing Doe v. Bolton with the concurrent Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade, I will shed light on the history of abortion in America as well as continuing divisions over abortion access in America today. INDEX WORDS: Georgia, Second Wave Feminism, Abortion, Doe v.
