DESCRIPTION:A roundtable discussion featuring inventor Meg Crane (NYC)\, Pr
 of. Jenna Healey (Queens Univ.)\, Prof. Christabelle Sethna (Univ. Ottawa)
 \, and Prof. Alanna Thain (51³Ô¹ÏÍøUniv.).\n\n\n\nThe Osler Library was rec
 ently able to acquire an original Predictor home pregnancy test kit from i
 ts inventor\, New York graphic designer Margaret (Meg) Crane. Compared to 
 abortion and the pill\, the history of pregnancy testing has barely been e
 xplored. Moreover\, it is not well known that Predictor\, soon to turn fif
 ty\, was manufactured in Montreal and test-marketed in Canada in 1971\, a 
 full seven years before home pregnancy tests were permitted on the America
 n market. Given the crucial role played by Montreal\, it is fitting that t
 his roundtable discussion will bring together experts in medical history a
 nd gender studies with Crane herself to discuss the origins of home pregna
 ncy testing and its little-known connection to Montreal.\n\nRSVP required.
