Reproductive policies in North Carolina were also unusually well documented, and Schoen has made brilliant use of an astonishing array of sources, from the well-known Gamble papers, to the illegal abortion cases that came before the North Carolina Supreme Court, to the North Carolina Eugenics Board's in-depth summaries of 7,500 sterilization petitions. No other scholar has had access to such detailed material on sterilization, and Schoen generously shared the results of her research with a reporter from the Winston-Salem Journal; the result was an award-winning series about the state's eugenics program, an apology from the governor, and a compensation program for survivors.
