Chelsea Kiefer, senior history major at FHSU, joins Hollie Marquess to discuss child-free women in the first half of the 20th century. She unpacks rates of child-free women, methods to prevent pregnancy (including horrifying ones like a condom that looks like a chef hat and ones that are reusable), and Eugenic postcards.

In the episode, Chelsea and Hollie mention a condom that looks like a chef hat. We are not using an image of the reusable condoms here, but you can use your imagination for that.
