Summary

While working as a nurse amid the squalor of New York's Lower East Side in the early 20th century, Margaret Sanger witnessed the devastating effects of unwanted pregnancies and resolved to dedicate her life to establishing birth control as a basic human right. Sanger's battles brought her a world of troubles-arrest, indictment, and exile among them-but ultimately she triumphed, opening the first American birth control clinic in 1916 and serving as the first president of the International Planned Parenthood Federation in 1953. A fascinating firsthand account of an early crusade for women's healthcare, this autobiography is a classic of women's studies and social reform. Unabridged republication of the classic 1938 edition.
