BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
Jane E. Hodgson was born January 23, 1915 in Crookston, Minnesota. She attended Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, where she studied chemistry and received her B.S. in 1934 at the age of 19. She then attended the University of Minnesota Medical School, where she received her M.D. in 1939. She spent the next two years completing her internship and residency at the Jersey City Medical Center where she met her future husband, Frank W. Quattlebaum, a cardiovascular surgeon. After their marriage in 1941, Hodgson completed a four-year fellowship in obstetrics and gynecology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. In 1947, at the same time she was completing a post-graduate degree, Hodgson opened her private practice.
In 1970, Hodgson performed an abortion at St. Paul-Ramsey Hospital in direct defiance of Minnesota law. She was subsequently convicted by the Ramsey County District Court, given a suspended 30-day jail sentence, and lost her Minnesota medical license. While her appeal was pending before the Minnesota Supreme Court, she worked as the medical director for Preterm, inc. in Washington, D.C. Her conviction was overturned in 1973 when the opinion in Roe v Wade was released.
She moved back to Minnesota in 1974, and opened the Women's Health Center in Duluth shortly thereafter. In 1980, she and some colleagues challenged the Minnesota law requiring parental notification before a minor could obtain an abortion. They took their case to the Supreme Court of the United States, but were ultimately unsuccessful.
Beginning in the 1960s and continuing throughout the 1980s, both Hodgson and Quattlebaum gave their time and talent to Project Hope, an organization that works to make health care available around the world. Hodgson was inaugurated into the International Women in Medicine Hall of Fame, which is part of the American Medical Women's Association, in 2001. Hodgson died in Rochester, Minnesota on October 23, 2006, at the age of 91.

| Legal Cases: | |||||||||||
| Hodgson's legal case files are arranged chronologically by case date. Within each individual case, files are arranged alphabetically by title. The files include affidavits, briefings, correspondence, depositions, findings, other influential court decisions, temporary restraining orders, and transcripts and other court documents. | |||||||||||
| The first case Hodgson was directly involved in is titled State of Minnesota v Hodgson. In 1970, she performed an abortion on a woman who had contracted rubella, which can cause severe birth defects. Hodgson primarily agreed to perform the procedure because she wanted to directly challenge the Minnesota law. Because abortions were illegal at the time, she was charged and convicted of performing an abortion in a hospital. This series primarily consists of transcripts from court proceedings, but affidavits and other legal briefs can also be found. | |||||||||||
| Hodgson was also involved in an important case in the 1980s (Hodgson v State of Minnesota), when she and a group of colleagues challenged Minnesota state law requiring notification and consent of both parents 48 hours before a minor could have an abortion. | |||||||||||
| Hodgson was a consultant for many other legal cases involved in reproductive freedom. She also lent her name in the Preterm, Inc and JEH v Washington case. She testified or provided research assistance for such cases as Sabot v Fargo Women's Health Organization, Women of the State of Minnesota v Natalie Haas Steffen (Commissioner of Minnesota Department of Human Services), and Women's National Abortion Action Coalition (WONAAC) v Washington, District of Columbia City Council, as well as the other cases in this series. | |||||||||||

| 149.D.12.6F | 9 | Overseas Work: | |||||||||
| Materials pertaining to Hodgson's overseas work are arranged chronologically by date of trip. Within each trip, files are arranged alphabetically by title. This portion of Hodgson's papers contain materials from all of her various overseas trips, including tours to Africa, China, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Peru, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Iran, Grenada, Cuba, and Southeast Asia. Included are correspondence, both personal and general, Project Hope administrative documents and promotional materials, news clippings and background briefing books, training materials, notes and examples from her medical writing class, transcripts, medical statistics, case studies, calendars, and other notes and papers. | |||||||||||
| This series documents Hodgson's overseas travels and tours. In the late 1950s, she traveled to Africa and toured several medical facilities. This time abroad introduced her to the needs of developing countries and led to her participation in Project Hope. Project Hope is a non-profit organization affiliated with the People to People Foundation that works to improve health conditions in impoverished countries around the world. Established in 1960, Project Hope was initially based on a Navy ship, the USS Hope. | |||||||||||
| Hodgson began working with Project Hope in 1963, when she served in Peru, working as an obstetrician and gynecologist for poor women and children. She then expanded her service throughout the years, ultimately working in Central America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Along with actually practicing medicine in these countries, Hodgson helped medical professionals improve their facilities, equipment, and techniques. She associated herself with teaching hospitals, particularly the University of Trujillo in Peru, St. George University School of Medicine in the Caribbean, Zhejiang Medical University in China, and Al Galaa Hospital in Egypt. | |||||||||||

She also served as medical director at Preterm Clinic in Washington, D.C and for Planned Parenthood of Minnesota. She was also at Midwest Health Center for Women in Minneapolis for many years. She was an active staff member of Miller Hospital and St Paul Ramsey Hospital. Finally, she did consulting work around the nation, helping to establish quality women's health centers.
