Margaret Higgins Sanger (1879-1966) was an American birth control activist, sex educator, writer and nurse. She popularized the term 'birth control', opened the first birth control clinic in the US, and established organizations that evolved into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. She used her writings and speeches primarily to promote her way of thinking. Publication of her pamphlet Family LImitation (1914) led to her prosecution, and when in 1916 she was arrested for distributing information on contraception, her subsequent trial and appeal generated controversy. Sanger wrote several books in the 1920s which had a nationwide impact in promoting the cause of birth control. Between 1920-26 567,000 copies of Woman and the New Race (1920) and The Pivot of Civilisation (1922) were sold. She also wrote two autobiographies designed to promote the cause - My Fight for Birth Control (1931) and Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography (1938). During the 1920s she received hundreds of thousands of letters, many written in desperation by women begging for information on how to prevent unwanted pregnancies, and 500 of these where compiled into the 1928 book, Motherhood in Bondage. Sanger died aged 86 in 1966, a year after birth control was legalized in the US. Trade Books>Trade Paperback>Social Sciences>Sociology>Sociology, Pbshop.Co.UK Ltd DBA Echo Library Core >1<

Arguably her most important and influential book, this controversial work, first published in 1922 by pioneering birth-control advocate Margaret Sanger, attempted to broaden the still-radical idea of birth control beyond its socialist and feminist roots. Moving away from a single-minded focus on women's reproductive rights to the larger issue of the general health and economic prosperity of the whole human race, Sanger argued that birth control was pivotal to a rational approach toward dealing with the threat of overpopulation and its ruinous consequences in poverty and disease. Through this book Sanger hoped to persuade the medical establishment to assume control over contraceptive distribution, and thereby to lessen the religious, legal, and moral opposition that continued to restrict access to contraceptive information.
