Dr. Heather Munro Prescott, Coordinator of Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies at Central Connecticut State University is writing a book about the history of emergency contraception from the 1960s to the present. According to an email Prescott sent to Our Bodies Our Blog, the study will place this history "within the larger context of women’s health activism in the second half of the twentieth century. A major focus of the book will be the role women patients played in the dissemination of this technology."

You can take the survey here. Women who have used emergency contraception, their partners, activists, and health care providers are welcome to participate. Prescott is particularly interested in respondents who used emergency contraception in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
