In newest post, Dr. Tamara Venit Shelton examines the 1909 trial of Chinese American herbalist T. Wah Hing for feticide. In an era when abortion was illegal and the American Medical Association officially opposed its practice, practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine in the United States terminated unwanted pregnancies for women without recourse in mainstream medical care.

Hi everyone
I *also* like talking about radicalism in the GAPE. One of my favorite resources in the University of Washington's "Mapping American Social Movements" Project. They have an excellent breakdown of socialist membership between 1904 and 1940, which you can find at http://depts.washington.edu/moves/SP_map-members.shtml. They also have great maps relating to the Knight of Labor, IWW, and National Women's Party.
Greetings all. I really like talking about radicalism in the GAPE. There is a good collection of sources on the American Socialist Labor Party at https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/eam/slp/socialistlaborparty.html. I especially like using the party platform from 1877, because by our standards it's a pretty moderate reformist platform yet was so "radical" at the time. If you poke around Marxists.org there are tons of other sources for the period you might find useful.
