On April 24, 1921, 39-year-old homemaker Alice Emma Shanahan, who went by her middle name, died at Chicago's St. Anthony Hospital from an abortion perpetrated by a person who was not identified.
Most abortionists in Chicago in that era were doctors or midwives, which makes it likely that Emma availed herself of one of these trained medical professionals.
