Hannah Mayne

Hannah Mayne (M.A.) is a doctoral candidate in Anthropology at the University of Toronto and the proud granddaughter of Gertrude Katz, who fought with Henry Morgentaler to repeal the anti-abortion law in Canada. In the 1970s and 80s Gertie helped establish and maintain clinics across Canada where medical abortions were safely available, even before they were legal. Hannah's research explores the intersections of gender, Jewish orthodoxy, and women’s prayer.
