Description:

Felicia Kornbluh (University of Vermont) will be on campus October 24th to discuss her book "A Woman's Life is a Human Life: My Mother, Her Neighbor and the Journey From Reproductive Rights to Reproductive Justice".

Legal Studies and the History Department will co-sponsor the event on Tuesday, October 24.  Lunch starts at 12:15; the talk will start at 12:30.

Before there was 'Jane Roe', the most important champions of reproductive rights were ordinary people working in their local communities.  In her book, Prof. Felicia Kornbluh delivers the untold story of everyday activists who defined those rights and achieved them in the years immediately before and after Roe v Wade made abortion legal under federal law.
