London: Chapman & Hall Ltd 1935 First Edition This being the personal copy of Margaret Sanger (1879-1966), with her bookplate on the inside of the top board. Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) was a pioneering activist in the birth control movement, known for founding the first birth control clinic in the United States in 1916 and establishing the American Birth Control League, which later became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Her extensive advocacy work included publishing influential articles and books, such as "The Woman Rebel" and "Woman and the New Race." She played a crucial role in the international family planning movement by helping to establish the International Planned Parenthood Federation in 1952. Despite her significant contributions to women's reproductive rights, her legacy is marred by her controversial support for eugenics, a now-discredited movement aimed at improving the genetic quality of the human population. Sanger's enduring impact is reflected in the ongoing work of the organizations she founded and her pivotal role in advancing women's health and rights.
