Anarcha, Betsey and Lucy were enslaved Black women living in 19th century Alabama. All three women had injuries following childbirth. They were subjected to multiple experimental surgeries, all performed without anaesthesia by a white physician who is lauded as the “Father of Modern Gynaecology”.

This man later became rich and famous, using the techniques he developed using human experimentation on white women, which he performed with anaesthesia.
