An examination of the complex interrelationship between charity
birth control clinics and the commercial marketplace in the United
States through the 1970s. The Birth Control Clinic in a Marketplace
World is the first book to chart the origins and evolution of the
charity birth control clinic movement in the United States from the
1910s through the 1970s, a period that witnessed dramatic
transformation in the goods and services such clinics provided.
Rose Holz uncovers the virtually unexamined relationship between
Planned Parenthood and the commercial marketplace sphere.
Challenging more thanthirty years of historiography on birth
control, Holz sheds new light on battles over reproductive rights
through her analysis of the Planned Parenthood Federation of
America within the context of the commercial birth control world.
Revealing that it would be Planned Parenthood's engagement to
charity -- the argument the organization once used to discredit the
presumed profit-driven exploitation of the marketplace -- that
would put precisely those women ithoped to assist in dangerous
situations, she asks such probing questions as: What were the
meanings attached to the provision of birth control and its
commercial distribution? How in turn were these meanings used as
sources of power? The project draws on rich primary sources to
answer these questions and to examine the historical role of the
local birth control clinic in modern America. Rose Holz earned her
PhD in history from the University ofIllinois at Urbana-Champaign.
She is associate director of and associate professor of practice in
the Women's and Gender Studies Program at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln.
