'Margaret Sanger; an autobiography' Summary
In her autobiography, Margaret Sanger, a pioneer for women's reproductive rights, vividly recounts her personal journey and the struggles she faced in her fight for legal access to birth control. She details her arrest and subsequent exile for her activism, highlighting the resistance she encountered from both lawmakers and medical professionals. Through this firsthand account, Sanger offers a unique glimpse into the social and political landscapes of the early 20th century, particularly the era before and after World War I, where women's rights were severely restricted.

The book showcases the evolution of the birth control movement and the tenacity of a woman determined to challenge the status quo in pursuit of a more just and equitable society for women.Book Details
