Family Limitation: [For Private Circulation]
Title:
Family Limitation: [For Private Circulation]
Description:
Margaret Sanger’s socialism and feminism were born of her own experience. She noted in My Fight for Birth Control that, “Very early in my childhood I associated poverty, toil, unemployment, drunkenness, cruelty, quarreling, fighting, debts, jails with large families.” Sanger worked as a nurse in the New York City slums and began to challenge the federal laws that prohibited the distribution of birth control information. This copy of Family Limitation is one of one hundred thousand in the first edition. Sanger opened the first family-planning clinic in 1916. In 1952, she joined with other advocates for family planning and founded the International Planned Parenthood Federation.
