The AskHistorians Podcast showcases the knowledge and enthusiasm of the AskHistorians community, a forum of nearly 1.4 million history academics, professionals, amateurs, and curious onlookers. The aim is to be a resource accessible to a wide range of listeners for historical topics which so often go overlooked. Together, we have a broad array of people capable of speaking in-depth on topics that get half a page on Wikipedia, a paragraph in a high-school textbook, and not even a minute on the History channel. The podcast aims to give a voice (literally!) to those areas of history, while not neglecting the more commonly covered topics. Part of the drive behind the podcast is to be a counterpoint to other forms of popular media on history which only seem to cover the same couple of topics in the same couple of ways over and over again.

This week, u/EdHistory101 talks with Emily Winderman about her book, Back-Alley Abortion: A Rhetorical History. The conversation covers specifics around rhetoric and rhetorical histories including the role of the canon, working in the archives while pregnant, how discussion of abortion has shifted over time, and how abortion is not unique when it comes to American rhetoric but does hold a particular position in discourse because it's not just about abortion, how white and Black women have talked to each other and about abortion and the phrase " we won't go back ." Texts she mentions include Reading Rhetorical Theory: Speech, Representation, and Power by Atilla Hallsby, Sign of Pathology: U.S. Medical Rhetoric on Abortion, 1800s–1960s by Nate Stormer, the We Testify Project , Sherie M. Randolph's biography of Florynce "Flo" Kennedy, Tamika L.
