This is the first comprehensive history of the struggle to win
public acceptance of contraceptive practice. James Reed traces this
remarkable story from its beginnings, carefully documenting the
roles of the diverse interests that supported birth control,
including feminists, eugenicists, and physicians, and providing a
unique account of the struggles of such pioneers as Margaret
Sanger, Robert Dickinson, and Clarence Gamble to win the support of
organized medicine, to change laws, to open birth control clinics,
and to improve birth control methods.
Originally published in 1984.
