Tina and Hillary cover the Night of Terror and forced sterilization in the United States.
Tina’s Story
In 1917, women were still fighting for the right to vote. BUT, when a peaceful protest at the White House ends in arrest, the women face a different kind of struggle.
Hillary’s Story
The racist theory of Eugenics gained a foothold in the United States beginning in the mid-19th century. BUT, when doctors attempted to put theory to practice, it resulted in one of the most horrific attacks on the country’s most marginalized women.
