Published material
Norplant
however in the beginning of Norplant's facilitation, doctors were not trained in removal procedures, which proved to cause further complications later on.[1]
Information regarding the cost of removal (which was often ten times the cost of insertion) was withheld from certain patients, namely those within the black community. As a result, patients resorted to personal attempts at removing Norplant, often with improvised instruments that worsened their condition.[2]
Lucy (Australopithecus)
Criticisms
Scientific historian Londa Schiebinger questions the claim that Johanson's team made concerning Lucy's gender, citing that they wrote "the pelvic opening in hominids has to be proportionately larger in females than in males to allow for the birth of larger-braind infants." Contradicting this evidence was the timing of development of large hominid brains. Schiebinger continues to critique the assumptions made concerning Lucy's sex based upon the skeleton's size.[3]
Sandbox-specific content
Enforcement
United States
The government provided many incentives for black women at the poverty line to utilize Norplant. In many cases, Norplant was a requirement by many employers before they would hire potential employees.
Controversy
Sarah Baartman has been the subject of much research, even after her death. Anne Fausto-Sterling argues that the mere study of Sarah Baartman as someone outside of the norm is in fact a form of objectification. Why do we even ask the question regarding the size of Baartman's genitalia?[4]
Research
Articles on feminist and women's studies on JSTOR.
Articles by Anne Fausto-Sterling and Emily Martin.
