Artistry in Architecture: The Mothers of Gynecology

Say their names, Anarcha, Lucy and Betsey.

Michelle L. Browder is a renowned artist and activist who has made a significant impact on her community. Her monument of Anarcha, Lucy and Betsy are three women who were subjected to medical experiments by Dr. J. Marion Sims (also known as the Father of Gynecology). With the acquisition of a historic site in Montgomery, Alabama, previously used for medical experimentation on slaves, Browder plans to create a museum and teaching clinic focused on reproductive health, and your generous contribution can help bring this visionary project to fruition.

Browder's dedication to social justice and equality has earned her widespread recognition. She owns and operates More Than Tours, a social enterprise that provides educational and interactive tours to students and tourists exposing the rich and sometimes haunting history of Montgomery, Alabama.
