Paternity doubts and social pressures in early 20th century tale
Gina B., aged nineteen, is described as a delinquent who bore a second child out of wedlock and accused a man of paternity to obtain $2000. The piece discusses proving fatherhood through blood tests, the limits of such tests, and a Knoxville law school symposium praising the lie detector for uncovering false unwed mother claims. It notes unwed mothers often lied to shield themselves or lovers, sometimes military men, while mothers faced harsh family dynamics and childhood deprivation.
