All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jul 16, 2022

[REBROADAST FROM July 11, 2022] For the latest installment of our ongoing Full Bio series, we speak with journalist Joshua Prager, author of the biography about the story of Roe v. Wade, called The Family Roe: An American Story. On day one, we discuss the early life of the woman who became Jane Roe in the Supreme Court case, Norma McCorvey. Prager speaks about how the culture of the rural American South in the early 20th century and McCorvey's family informed how she carried herself.
