Remembering Enslaved Women

The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing the lives and stories of enslaved women like Lucy, Betsy, and Anarcha, who were subjected to medical experimentation without consent. Their narratives should not be overshadowed by the legacy of their tormentor; instead, they deserve to be honored as human beings and mothers. A memorial could celebrate their contributions to gynecology, emphasizing their humanity rather than their victimization.
