Her daily concern: Women¹s health issues in Antebellum Indiana

Women in early America were not only touched by the health concerns of everyone, but also those specific to their gender.  This presentation looks at the issues that made this period one of the few eras in which female life expectancy was shorter than that of males.

An ISU graduate, historian and author Tim Crumrin was awarded the prestigious Lifetime Achievement in History Award by the Indiana Historical Society in 2014. His latest book Wicked Terre Haute: A History of Vice in a River City, will be published by the History Press in Fall 2018.
