Edited by a noted scholar of health and sexuality, Encyclopedia of
Birth Control is a complete report on the historical development
and efficacy of contraceptive practices around the world, both past
and present. Without contraception, a healthy, sexually active
woman will give birth to about 15 children and over her life span,
spend most of her reproductive years either pregnant or nursing a
newborn infant. So controlling fertility has preoccupied
women—and often their husbands—since at least 1000 B.C. In this
comprehensive reference, readers can explore the history of birth
control from a variety of perspectives: anthropological,
biological, economic, feminist, medical, political, and
psychological. From wet nurses to chastity belts, from animal-dung
contraceptives to the Dalkon Shield, readers will learn how women
have attempted birth control, contraception, and abortion
throughout history and throughout the world. Readers will also
discover why opposition to birth control was so fierce early in the
20th century that many American women and men were jailed for
disseminating information on avoiding pregnancy, and why family
planning remains hotly controversial almost a century later.
