Join renowned author J.C. Hallman at Milkweed Books in Minneapolis for a captivating event centered around his latest nonfiction masterpiece, Say Anarcha. On October 20, 2023, Hallman will take the stage to read excerpts from his groundbreaking book, which delves into the untold story of Anarcha, an enslaved woman who endured perilous experimental surgeries in the name of gynecology. Dr. Rahel Nardos, an esteemed expert in obstetrics, gynecology, and women's health from the University of Minnesota, will join Hallman to discuss the book and shed light on this dark chapter in medical history. This special reading, taking place at Milkweed Books' brick-and-mortar independent bookstore on the first floor of Open Book, promises to be a truly unforgettable evening. Throughout Say Anarcha, Hallman exposes the truth behind Dr. J. Marion Sims, once hailed as the "father of modern gynecology," and his controversial practices. Hallman's meticulous research uncovers the remarkable life of Anarcha beyond Sims's dubious reports, revealing her pivotal role in the evolution of patient-centered care. Anarcha's resilience and subsequent career as a midwife, nurse, and "doctor woman" challenges the flawed narrative that has long celebrated Sims as a medical pioneer. Don't miss this opportunity to witness J.C. Hallman and Dr. Rahel Nardos illuminate the forgotten story of Anarcha and her lasting impact on women's healthcare. Admission to this thought-provoking event is free of charge.
