Posted on 03/28/2017

Dr. Lisa Levenstein is an Associate Professor of History and Women’s and Gender Studies. She was recently featured in an NPR segment called “What The American Health Care Act Means For Women’s Health.” In the segment, Dr. Levenstein talks about about the history of women’s health care in the U.S. and the potential implications of the AHCA, saying “the women’s health movement really was an off-shoot of the feminist movement that emerged in the 1960’s and the 1970’s to protest and bring attention to the conditions of all kinds of women in American society.”
