How could the Supreme Court in this country decide that forced sterilizing women was okay?

Adam Cohen will tell us about his new book, Invisals, The Supreme Court, American Eugenics

and the sterilization of Carrie Buck.

You know, you can think of these four men as literally slicing her in half, right?

Because she's the beginning of the story and the end.

And that's what the government did to her, right?

They cut into her.

So these are four men who interrupt her life and change it profoundly.

Who knew that more than 200 women have run for the American presidency?

Ellen Fitzpatrick will join us to talk about her book, The Highest Glass Sealing.

You know, no one has spent any time writing about them or looking at them in any detail

in this context.

That was sort of the way they were treated in their own time.

Alexander Altair will give us an update from the literary world and great coals has

bestseller news.

This is Inside the New York Times Book Review.

I'm Pamela Paul.

Pam Cohen joins us now.

He is the author of Invisals, The Supreme Court, American Eugenics and the sterilization

of Carrie Buck.

Reviewed this week on our cover by David Aschinsky.
