Extensive legislation in the United States restricts and/or regulates the labor, voting, and reproductive rights of women. In this episode, we discuss the history of women's health legislation with an emphasis on abortion legislation. Oregon holds a unique place in this history. Today, I interview second-year history graduate student Tanya Monthey. Tanya is studying modern American legal history and women's history. In this podcast, she shares her background, current research, and research goals. Tanya's research emphasizes the history of Oregon abortion legislation, but she shares insight into other legislation regulating women's health. We also discuss some of the motivations behind legislation aimed at women.
