In discussion with Allison Pugh ’84. \nWednesday\, March 22\n7:00-8:00pm ET\nVirtual Program. Click to register. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, March 22 from 7:00-8:00pm ET as the HCHSAA celebrates Women’s History Month in March. We invite you to attend a virtual discussion of Felicia Kornbluh’s compelling new book that illustrates the modern fight for reproductive rights. As the U.S. reckons with a post-Roe v. Wade reality\, her book comes at a particularly important time in our nation’s history. \nIn A WOMAN’S LIFE IS A HUMAN LIFE: My Mother\, Our Neighbor and the Journey from Reproductive Rights to Reproductive Justice (Grove Press 2023)\, Kornbluh details how sterilization abuse after World War Two limited reproductive rights just as much as criminal abortion laws limited them. She is the first to capture the history of the movement against sterilization abuse and its growth into today’s demands for Reproductive Justice. \nKornbluh has a personal connection with the history she chronicles in A WOMAN’S LIFE IS A HUMAN LIFE. Her mother\, the late Beatrice Kornbluh Braun\, a labor lawyer of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s generation\, wrote the first draft of the most liberal pre-Roe abortion law in the country. This was New York’s law\, enacted in 1970\, which made abortion legal through the 24th week of a pregnancy and for the first time opened access to all\, no matter their state or country of residency. \nKornbluh also focuses on another remarkable woman: Puerto Rican pediatrician and public health leader Helen Rodríguez-Trías\, who lived in the apartment across the hall from Kornbluh and her mother for nearly a decade. Dr. Rodríguez-Trías led the movement against sterilization abuse\, a nearly forgotten branch of the reproductive rights movement that won its own astounding victories in New York and nationally. \nRich with firsthand accounts and previously unseen sources\, A WOMAN’S LIFE IS A HUMAN LIFE tells the story of illegal abortion and the fight against it at the same time that it chronicles the history of sterilization abuse\, which happened disproportionately to women of color\, young women\, and poor people. Kornbluh invites readers to see the fight against sterilization abuse as inseparable from the fight for safe\, legal\, affordable abortion care – and to understand how vital it is to fight for the right to bear and raise children\, as well as the right to avoid childbearing if that is your choice. Anyone who cares about the fate of reproductive rights today can look to Kornbluh’s dynamic\, surprising\, and highly readable book for insight and hope. \nMake sure to take part in this important discussion. Sign up today for the Zoom registration link! \n  \nAbout the Author\nFelicia Kornbluh is a Professor of History with a secondary appointment in Gender\, Sexuality and Women’s Studies\, and an affiliated faculty member in Jewish Studies\, at the University of Vermont.

Amy Sohn ’91 and Emily Bass ’91 in Conversation with Kip Zegers DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, September 29 at 6:30pm ET\, Amy Sohn ’91 and Emily Bass ’91 will share stories from their craft with the HCHS community. Both graduates of the Class of 1991\, the pair published books in July 2021–Sohn’s 12th book\, and first work of nonfiction; Bass’s debut work. Their books\, The Man Who Hated Women: Sex\, Censorship and Civil Liberties in the Gilded Age and To End a Plague: America’s Fight to Defeat AIDS In Africa tackle disparate topics and time periods\, and converge on similar themes–the persistent\, pernicious and often-lethal fear of women’s bodily autonomy\, and the fierce resistance it engenders from activists across history. \nThe two will speak about their recently published works\, their careers as writers and feminists\, and Hunter’s role in nurturing these identities.  Join us for an intriguing talk that will be moderated by retired HCHS English faculty\, poet and author\, Kip Zegers.
