Margaret Sanger: Rebel for Women's Rights » (Library Edition)

Margaret Sanger was the founder of the birth control movement in the United States and became an international leader in the field. Her work as a nurse convinced her that limiting the size of families through elective birth control was the key to the advancement of women and was needed to achieve social progress. Her work brought her and those who worked alongside her scorn and legal arrest, but support for her cause strengthened throughout the twentieth century. Today, we take for granted many of the rights she fought so hard to secure.
