Margaret Sanger (1883-1966) was a leading figure in the American
birth control movement. Trained as a nurse, she moved to New York
City to work among the poor. Having witnessed firsthand the
travails of mothers in the city's poorest neighborhoods, she felt
the need to provide them with information on reproduction and
contraception. She abandoned her nursing career and devoted the
rest of her life to disseminating information on women's
reproduction and contraception, publishing books and articles and
founding birth control clinics.
In Motherhood in Bondage, first published in 1928, Sanger
reproduced letters written to her from women and sometimes men from
all over the country, in both urban and rural areas, who were
seeking advice on reproductive matters and marital relations, but
mostly imploring her to help them find ways to avoid more
pregnancies. The letters are grouped by theme into sixteen
chapters, and Sanger wrote an introduction to each chapter.
