National Collaborative for Women's History Sites

At the most recent meeting of the Collaborative's Research and Interpretation Committee, Linda K. Kerber (Professor Emerita, University of Iowa) gave a fascinating presentation on the topic of "Women and Statelessness." If you missed the live feed, you can catch her remarks on the NCWHS YouTube channel. Based on her forthcoming book, LEGAL GHOSTS: STATELESSNESS IN A NATION OF CITIZENS, Linda discusses the meaning of the 14th Amendment, current challenges to it, and the implications for those whose citizenship is questioned. She notes that women in the U.S.--as well as women globally--are particularly vulnerable to classification as stateless persons. Tune-in and learn more about these important issues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLx4qegrG-I
