Summary
Reporter Rebecca Clarren, editor Katherine Spillar, and author Ann Fessler on this edition of Fresh Air. In the latest issue of Ms. Magazine, Clarren writes about the sweatshops of the Northern Mariana Islands in her cover article "Paradise Lost." While the Marianas are a U.S. territory, they are exempt from the usual U.S. laws regulating minimum wage, tariffs, quotas and immigration. Yet clothing sewn in the sweatshops bears the "made in the USA" label. To further complicate matters, the Marianas were a client of Jack Abramoff, who, with the help of Tom Delay, blocked legislation that would have eliminated these exemptions. Clarren is a freelance writer based in Portland, Oregon. Ms. Executive Editor Katherine Spillar is also the Executive Vice President of the Feminist Majority Foundation, which publishes the magazine.
Author Ann Fessler's new book is The Girls Who Went Away: The Hidden History of Women Who surrendered Children for Adoption in the Decades before Roe V. Wade. Using her own story of adoption as a basis for her book, Fessler tells the story of over a million women who surrendered children for adoption prior to legalized abortion. Fessler is a photography professor at Rhode Island School of Design. (Broadcast Date: May 16, 2006)
