CV 75-2057 EAC, 1977 July
Scope and Content
This a collection of legal records and court documents from the 1975 federal class action lawsuit, Madrigal v. Quilligan (CV 75-2057 EAC), which brought to light the coerced sterilization of Latina women at Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center. The case was brought to court by 10 Latina women against E.J. Quilligan, M.D., and other hospital obstetricians. The court records span from June 1975 through April 1979. The judge ruled against the women. However, the case increased public awareness and activism of forced sterilization to minority and non-native speaking women.
