A pioneer in the birth control movement both in the United States
and abroad, Dr. Clarence J. Gamble began his work as a volunteer in
Philadelphia in 1929. Because he was convinced that the health and
happiness of women and children and, in fact, entire families
depended on adequate spacing of their babies, he helped to
establish family planning clinics in a dozen American cities before
he was forty years old. Dr. Gamble's major concern was to provide a
safe, reliable, and cheap contraceptive that poor women who had no
access to running water or modern conveniences could use. After
World War II and the population explosion that followed it, Dr.
Gamble expanded his efforts in what he called the Great Cause to
help those in the developing nations who wanted their people to be
able to choose when to have children and how many to have. Every
Child a Wanted Child is more than the biography of a unique man. It
is a record of the ups and downs of the birth control movement in
the United States and in Italy, Japan, India, and parts of Asia and
Africa.
