Mothers of Gynecology
Manage episode 346101016 series 3326964
In this episode we discuss the mothers of gynecology: Anarcha, Betsey, and Lucy. They were enslaved women that were experimented on by Dr. James Marion Sims to perfect surgical techniques for women.
And we highlight The Black ObGyn Project whose mission is to educate and promote anti-racism, equity, and inclusion within gynecology, women's health, and reproductive health care.
