<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Sanger was a pioneer in establishing birth control as a basic human right and a founder of the International Planned Parenthood Federation.

Women already overwhelmed by the burdens of poverty had no recourse; their doctors were either ignorant of effective methods of birth control or were unwilling to risk defying the law.<br>Sanger resolved to dedicate her life to establishing birth control as a basic human right. Her battles brought a world of troubles -- arrest, indictment, and exile among them -- but ultimately she triumphed, opening the first American birth control clinic in 1916 and serving as the first president of the International Planned Parenthood Federation in 1953.<br>A fascinating firsthand account of an early crusade for women's healthcare, this autobiography is a classic of women's studies and social reform.</p>
