 | Choice Histories was a 1991 gallery installation investigating the history of women's global struggle for reproductive rights. Made up of an ensemble of artworks, essays, and discussions, the installation addressed such diverse subjects as the history of Native and African American medical practices, sterilization in Puerto Rico, and the Catholic Church's sexist views concerning marriage and child-bearing. Choice Histories was a project displayed within Artist Space's "A New World Order," an exhibition curated by Connie Butler which questioned the possibility of preserving free speech and a woman's right to choose within President George Bush's vision of "A New World Order."
