The Madrigal Ten (from "Another Burden to Bear")

In the summer of 1975, a group of Latina women in California banded together to file a class action lawsuit. They wanted to seek justice for pregnant women who had endured manipulation and coercion from doctors. These women claimed their rights as patients had been ignored because of their race and because they did not speak English. Joanne talks with Maya Manian, visiting professor at Howard University School of Law, about the story behind Madrigal v Quilligan.
