Description

Explore the first comprehensive history of the movement to gain public acceptance for contraceptive practices. In this detailed study, James Reed traces the evolution of birth control from its early stages through its transformation from a private matter to a public issue. This historical account documents the various groups that supported the movement, including physicians, feminists, and eugenicists. The book provides a unique look at the efforts of key pioneers like Margaret Sanger, Robert Dickinson, and Clarence Gamble. Readers will learn about their specific struggles to change existing laws, open clinics, and improve available contraceptive methods. Originally published in 1984, this work is part of the Princeton Legacy Library. It offers a deep look into how these figures worked to win the support of organized medicine and shape the social landscape of American healthcare and family planning.
