American FGM by American Doctors -- A Request for Further Info

[painfulquestioning]

Can someone help me out with more resources, articles, links etc about healthy XX(not intersex or any other 'condition') American girls being circumcised in America by American doctors anytime before the 1990s?

The only one I have been able to find so far is Patricia Robinett's book: http://www.amazon.com/Rape-Innocence.../dp/1878411047

A while ago I read somewhere that American insurance companies covered some forms of female circumcision up until as late as the 1970s, but I would like an official reference for that.

Also I would like to note, I have really found the CAC board to be a tremendous resource, so I thank all of you who make it that way:-)

You probably read that from me. I read it in Hanny Lightfoot-Klein's book Secret Wounds. It's a very fascinating read.
