The podcast about amazing and noteworthy women from history! A Broad is a woman who lives by her own rules; Broads You Should Know shares the stories of those Broads who have helped shape our world.
This week, we revisit Chloe Skye's episode on Norma McCorvey, or as you might know her: "Jane Roe" of the Roe v Wade case. We'll tell you right now - it's probably NOT the story you were expecting to hear.
After enduring a difficult childhood in Texas, Norma's young adulthood doesn't fair much better, and ultimately leads to her landmark court case Roe v Wade. But what happens after the Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal & protected under US Federal law? Does Norma carry her pregnancy to term? Does she join the ranks of women's rights activists? Does she become a beacon of hope for American women seeking the help she couldn't get in Texas?
The answers are probably not what you think (and hope), that they are, making her a truly fascinating Broad You Should Know.
