OB/GYN book club to discuss 'Reproduction on the Reservation'

The OB/GYN Interest Group will host its next book club meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 22, at 6:30 p.m. in the Atlantis Room on Children's & Women's Hospital campus. 

The group will discuss “Reproduction on the Reservation: Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Colonialism in the Long Twentieth Century” by Brianna Theobald. This pathbreaking book documents the transformation of reproductive practices and politics on Indian reservations from the late 19th century to the present, integrating a localized history of childbearing, motherhood, and activism on the Crow Reservation in Montana with an analysis of trends affecting Indigenous women more broadly.

Dinner will be served, so please RSVP at: https://tinyurl.com/mpn8xmz3

The book is available for free on the Hoopla app through the Mobile Public Library.
