Say hello to Hannah Dudley-Shotwell, a scholar who is visiting the Archives this week, thanks to assistance from the Linda and Richard Kerber Fund for Research in the Iowa Women\u2019s Archives<\/a>. Hannah is one of the first recipients of the grant, which was inaugurated last spring. She\u2019s a doctoral candidate in History at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro, and is conducting research on self-help in the women\u2019s health movement from 1970 to the start of the 21st century.<\/p>\n Hannah describes her research as revisiting an area of women\u2019s activism that many assumed ended after Roe v. Wade. She argues that, while the early focus of self-help in the women\u2019s health movement was on gynecology, after Roe v. Wade many self-help activists transformed their work, incorporating fertility consciousness, donor insemination, and holistic medicine.<\/p>\n Hannah\u2019s had a great time here at IWA! Records like those of the Emma Goldman Clinic<\/a> will provide important primary material for several chapters of her dissertation, and she was delighted to find material on yet another clinic in the Carol Hodne papers<\/a>. Hannah describes the many newsletters and publications on women\u2019s health that have been collected and even produced by some of the clinics she\u2019s researched here, which played an important role in educating women about their own health.<\/p>\n None of this would have been possible without the help of the Linda and Richard Kerber Fund<\/a>. It was this fund that first drew Hannah\u2019s attention to our archives; little did she know how much material she would find here! We\u2019ve been enjoying getting to know Hannah this week, and look forward to seeing where her project goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Say hello to Hannah Dudley-Shotwell, a scholar who is visiting the Archives this week, thanks to assistance from the Linda and Richard Kerber Fund for Research in the Iowa Women\u2019s Archives.
