In 1960, the FDA approved the contraceptive commonly known as "the
pill." Advocates, developers, and manufacturers believed that the
convenient new drug would put an end to unwanted pregnancy, ensure
happy marriages, and even eradicate poverty. But as renowned
historian Elaine Tyler May reveals in "America and the Pill," it
was women who embraced it and created change. They used the pill to
challenge the authority of doctors, pharmaceutical companies, and
lawmakers. They demonstrated that the pill was about much more than
family planning--it offered women control over their bodies and
their lives. From little-known accounts of the early years to
personal testimonies from young women today, May illuminates what
the pill did and did "not" achieve during its half century on the
market.
