FoundingThe Emma Goldman Clinic, the first women's health care center in the Midwest and the first out-patient abortion clinic in Iowa, was founded in September 1973 by a group of dedicated community women. Today it is one of the most highly regarded non-profit health care facilities in the country.
Emma Goldman () was a nurse, midwife, political lecturer and writer. She was an educator and public advocate for birth control at a time when such action was prohibited by law. Emma Goldman once said a woman's "development, her freedom, her independence, must come from and through herself." We agree, and inspired by her determination and leadership, named the Clinic in her honor. |
