Forcibly Sterilized Woman Outraged by North Carolina Eugenics Program
Elaine Riddick Feels Violated All Over Again. After enduring a lifetime of humiliation and regret, she can barely control her outrage. The $50,000 now offered to her only makes her angrier. Elaine Riddick was only 14 when North Carolina’s State’s Eugenics Board decided that she was not capable of mothering children and forcibly sterilized her by cauterized her fallopian tubes. Nearly 44 years later, the state of North Carolina has proposed compensate Riddick and other victims of its eugenics program $50,000 each. Between 1929 and 1974, nearly 7,600 people were sterilized under orders from North Carolina’s Eugenics Board. Nearly 85% were women or girls, some as young as 10. The state estimates that 1,500 to 2,000 of the victims are still alive. To its credit, North Carolina is the first state to consider compensation for victims of forced sterilization According to most estimates, there are at likely 65,000 victims of forced sterilization in at least 30 states. This figure does not include the forced sterilization of Native American Women under the care of the Native American Health Care System.

Iconic women are activists and agents of change; patriots and warriors; they make history and challenge political paradigms. Iconic Women are reflections of the power of the Goddess.
Female Mystique - The Three Phases of Eve
Whether you are a hormonal teen, menstruating woman, or menopausal wise woman, you will pass through each, and every phase, once a month, throughout your life; an integral aspect of the natural cycles, that govern all of life, on this planet. Our cycles are the rhythm of the universal dance.
The menstrual cycle you’ve been encouraged to ignore, dismiss, dread, conceal, or suppress, is the foundation of your being. It helps to define who you are, your connection to self, other women, your partners, children, and every other aspect of your life.
Education
The purpose of the Holy Hormones Menstrual Health Education Series is to help you tap into the magnificent intelligence of your body and interpret its profound language to finally understand your mind, mood and hormone cycle. Our publications, address the very essence of a woman’s being; the fundamental nature of the female hormone cycle. Using the tools and information provided in our publications, women can learn to perceive symptoms as biometric feedback from our bodies about our diet, lifestyle and the state of our mental, emotional, and spiritual self. It is our goal to open your eyes to the real you — a woman who can trust herself, has confidence in her actions, understands her feelings and knows how to create a fulfilling life by living within her hormone cycle.
Resources
The Resource Section has been consciously formatted for easy access. We have compiled research sources, web sites, books and organizations that will assist you in finding out more information about this, your most personal journey. Our purpose is to encourage women to recognize their responsibility of ownership. It’s your body, your life — never abdicate your responsibility to and for yourself, not to your doctor, husband or significant other, and certainly not the FDA and the pharmaceutical industry.
