We're back! Jennifer Borgioli Binis (EdHistory101) talks with J. C. Hallman, author of "Say Anarcha: A Young Woman, a Devious Surgeon, and the Harrowing Birth of Modern Women's Health." Heads up that the episode talks about some of the experiences enslaved women had with J. Marion Sims, who had been long credited as "the father of gynocology." They discuss how Hallman approached the research as a non-historian, dynamics around identity, and the genre of speculative of non-fiction. The archive for the book is at: https://anarchaarchive.com/.
