"Pioneering Women in the History of IVF"
In honor of Women's History Month, the legacy of the women who played a crucial role in the development of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is highlighted. From Miriam Menkin's groundbreaking work in the 1930s to Georgeanna Jones' pivotal contributions in the late 70s and 80s, these women were instrumental in the creation and development of IVF, which has since provided a pathway to parenthood for many families. Elizabeth Carr, the first baby born in the U.S. through IVF, advocates for greater protection and access to IVF, emphasizing its importance in addressing infertility and other reproductive health needs.
