abstract="This article analyzes how medical and scientific discourses surrounding the Dalkon Shield legitimized and authorized the punishment and control of women's bodies. Women who used, or were targeted as potential users of, the Dalkon Shield intrauterine device were judged according to normative constructions of sex, hegemonic heterosexuality, and race. Eugenics and population control discourses were significant in classifying particular women as inferior and abnormal. Via pathologizing discourses and practices, the reproduction and sexual capacities of women, as a sexed group, were targeted and disciplined.
