You might have heard of Griswold v Connecticut, a major Supreme Court case from the 1950s … but do you know who “Griswold” was? We’d like you to meet Estelle—Estelle Griswold, and learn about her adventurous life as a singer, Parisian expat, WWII humanitarian, and mid-life medical student. All these experiences would prepare her for the work that made her legacy with Planned Parenthood and the Supreme Court. We explore the legacy of Griswold’s legal battle for contraception access and its far-reaching impacts on privacy, women's rights, and prosperity—even today.
