| Description: | "I seem to have no life and no history apart from the birth control movement", Margaret Sanger wrote in 1938. And, indeed, there was almost no phase of the birth control movement in which Margaret Sanger did not play a significant role. Her collection of papers reveals a complex portrait of the personal and public lives of one of the 20th century’s most influential and controversial figures. The collection is a premier resource for examining changing attitudes towards women’s roles and sexuality over time. Coverage spans the birth control movement, including the movement’s changing ideologies, its campaign for legitimacy, and its internal conflicts and organizational growth. |
