I'd only had a date and place of abortion and of death for a woman I'd been calling "Patsy" Roe. But my recent trip to the State Library and my time on Westlaw gave me a name, and a bit more information. She was
Wanda Szidzewicz, and there was some evidence that her abortionist was a midwife with a creative but unsuccessful lawyer.
