Deborah Harper, President of Psychjourney, interviews Professor Ann Fessler, author of The Girls Who Went Away: The Hidden History of Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption in the Decades Before Roe v. Wade published by Penguin. Ann Fessler is a Professor of Photography at the Rhode Island School of Design and a specialist in video-installation art. She won a prestigious Radcliffe Fellowship at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, at Harvard University, to complete her extensive research for this book. The original video-installation project out of which this book grew traveled to museums around the country. She is also the recipient of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts; the LEF Foundation, Boston; the Rhode Island Foundation; the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities; Art Matters, New York; and the Maryland State Arts Council. Her award-winning short videos have been screened widely at festivals and in gallery installations. Visit her website.
