Joseph C. Miller Memorial Lecture by Elisa-Maria Hiemer
Deprived of basic rights and sometimes even their proper names, female domestic workers fell victim of sexual abuse and had to fear unwanted pregnancies.
Dr. Elisa-Maria Hiemer will shed light on the perception of maids and present some court records from abortion trials to show how the unfavorable image of women from precarious backgrounds and of female sexuality in general impacted the process of reunification of three different parts of Poland after After World War I
