Listen "#56 The First Birth Control Pill Used Puerto Rican Women as Guinea Pigs"
Episode Synopsis
Episode Description:
Enovid, the world's first birth control ushered in a new era of sexual autonomy for women. It was marketed as a safe, clinically tested way to take control of reproductive health. The pill had a bright future, but its past is intertwined with eugenics and colonialism. Its clinical trials took place not in the mainland United States, but in Puerto Rico, where strong women were given a strong formulation of the drug without being told they were taking part in a trial or about any of the risks they’d face.
