Summary:  "The nearly forgotten story of the American Plan, one of the largest and longest-lasting mass quarantines in American history, told through the lens of one young woman's story. Nina McCall was one of many women unfairly imprisoned by the United States government throughout the twentieth century. The government imprisoned tens, probably hundreds, of thousands of women and girls -usually without due process simply because officials suspected these women were prostitutes, infected with STIs, or simply 'promiscuous'."
