23. Margaret Sanger, A Woman On The Front Lines Of Reproductive Freedom - Expository Freedom. by EM Staff. Margaret Sanger. (18791966). No woman cancall herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman http://www.tcdesign.net/Expository/msanger_frontlines.htm

Volume 1, Issue 2 Margaret Sanger: A Woman on the Front Lines of Reproductive Freedom. by EM Staff Margaret Sanger "No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother." Margaret Sanger The , piece on Margaret Sanger, written by Gloria Steinhem, starts out by quoting literary seer, H.G. Wells's 1931 prediction, "The movement she started will grow to be, a hundred years from now, the most influential of all time. When the history of our civilization is written, it will be a biological history, and Margaret Sanger will be its heroine," couldn't have been more true, or more relevant in today's world. Now, when we have a president who is bent on reversing, internationally, a woman's self-determination regarding birth control and abortion, EM would like to honor the work and vision of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood Federation. Born in Corning, New York, on September 11, 1879, Margaret Sanger was the sixth of eleven children (eleven living children; but her mother had been pregnant eighteen times) born to Ann and Michael Higgins. Ann spent her days tending to her children while her husband worked as a sculptor. The arts, then as now, was not steady work, meaning that most of the time they lived in poverty. In spite of that, good cheer and good works abounded in the Higgins household. At an early age, Margaret was taught to do charity work and to be involved in her community. This duty to others and to a cause served her well as an adult.

home page site index local clinics about us ... giving to planned parenthood The sixth of 11 children in a poor Irish family, Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) had seen her own mother die at the age of 49 as the result of tuberculosis contracted after too many pregnancies. In the early 1910s, Sanger worked as a maternity nurse on the Lower East Side of New York, delivering babies in the homes of poor, mostly immigrant women. The women she nursed knew nothing of how to prevent pregnancy and, because of the "Comstock laws," could get no information from their doctors. Instead, they resorted to the illegal practitioners of five-dollar abortions, on whose tables many of them died. "Tales," Sanger wrote, "were poured into my ears a baby born dead, great relief the death of an older child, sorrow but again relief of a sort the story told a thousand times of death from abortion and children going into institutions. I shuddered with horror as I listened to the details and studied the reasons back of them destitution linked with excessive childbearing. The waste of life seemed utterly senseless."

The Papers of Margaret Sanger Cover illustration from Birth Control Review, August 1921, by Rockwell Kent. Courtesy of Rockwell Kent Legacies, Au o'Sable Forks, N.Y. About Margaret Sanger Margaret Sanger's name is virtually synonymous with the development of birth control, a term she helped coin in 1914. Schooled in the pre-World War I activism of the radical labor left and mobilized by her work as a home nurse in the immigrant ghettos of New York, Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) became convinced that in liberating women from the tyranny of unwanted pregnancies, birth control would effect fundamental change. From the publication of The Woman Rebel in 1914 through her leadership of the International Planned Parenthood Federation in the 1950s, Margaret Sanger dedicated herself to making birth control safe, effective, legal, and socially sanctioned. Committed to insuring that every woman had both the knowledge and right to practice birth control, Sanger is best known for her battles over the right to legally disseminate contraceptive information and open birth control clinics. Yet her decision to press for the acceptance of contraception by the medical establishment and to support medically sanctioned birth control has also been critical to contemporary attitudes and debates. Birth control today remains a key component of social and economic change, and continues to be surrounded by controversies and debates at whose center lie the policies developed and publicized by Margaret Sanger.

Margaret Sanger Done by Lady of Belmar American social activist Margaret Sanger dedicated her life to making birth control available to all women in the world and thereby increased the quality and length of women's and children's lives. Introduction Margaret Louise Higgins was born on September 11, 1879, in Corning, New York. The sixth of eleven children born to Anne Purcell and Michael Hennessey Higgins, Margaret grew up in a bustling household in the woods on the outskirts of town. While her mother took care of the large family, her father worked as a sculptor, chiseling headstones for local cemeteries. His work was unsteady, and with so many mouths to feed the family usually struggled to make ends meet. Though poor themselves, the Higginses believed in helping others and taught Margaret to do the same. Her father often told her: "You have no right to material comforts without giving back to society the benefits of your honest experience". Margaret greatly admired her father, who was known as somewhat of a rebel in town, and took his words to heart. Education Margaret attended public school through the eighth grade and then boarding school at the Claverick College and Hudson River Institute.

The Week's Famous and Infamous Women When motherhood becomes the fruit of a deep yearning, not the result of ignorance or accident, its children will become the foundation of a new race. Margaret Sanger Birth Control Advocate Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) As a member of Lillian Wald's Visiting Nurse Service in New York, Margaret Sanger saw first-hand the suffering caused by unwanted pregnancies as the poor women of the Lower East Side died from too many pregnancies or from their own crude attempts at abortion. Margaret's own mother had died after bearing 11 children and having 7 miscarriages. These experiences, coupled with the inspiration of Emma Goldman's public speeches on sexual freedom, turned Margaret into a birth control advocate at a time when the topic was not only barred from polite conversation, but when sending information about contraception through the mail was a criminal offense. In 1914, Margaret launched a feminist monthly called The Woman Rebel Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion in the United States, it remains one of the nation's most divisive and violence-provoking issues. Margaret was born on September 14, 1879 and died just days before her 87th birthday in 1966. Books by and about Margaret Sanger Subscribe to Women's Stories!

The National History Day Topic for 2002 is Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History. For a detailed description of the National History Day Program and this year's topic, see the History Net. Below are suggested topics that relate to Margaret Sanger and the birth control movement: Margaret Sanger's Crusade for Birth Control Family limitation, in one form or another, has been practiced from the earliest time, but it took the efforts of one woman, Margaret Sanger (1879-1966), to forge a worldwide movement for birth control that refocused its message towards the needs of women and the public health. Focusing on Sanger as a leader who revolutionized women's reproductive rights and role in society through her efforts at legislative and social reform. Projects can also focus on various efforts to reform the laws prohibiting birth control laws, using the resources of the Sanger Papers. One could argue that one result of Sanger's quest for safe, legal and effective birth control was a revolution in women's roles in society. Examine the lives of women before and after Sanger's crusade to determine how they were changed and what the impact of those changes were. Sanger's agitation for birth control began as a radical call for a new society (revolution). It drew and continues to draw opposition from the medical profession, religious leaders and lawmakers (reaction), but within just a few years, birth control was widely accepted and its adherents were in the mainstream of reform. Examine the specific situations and events that spurred Sanger to take up her revolutionary challenge, how she brought it to the mainstream, and the reactionary forces that opposed her.

Margaret Sanger gained worldwide renown, respect, and admiration for founding the American birth control movement and, later, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, as well as for developing and encouraging family planning efforts throughout the international community. The sixth of 11 children in a poor Irish family, Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) had seen her own mother die at the age of 49 as the result of tuberculosis contracted after too many pregnancies. In the early 1910's, Sanger worked as a maternity nurse on the Lower East Side of New York, delivering babies in the homes of poor, mostly immigrant women. The women she nursed knew nothing of how to prevent pregnancy and, because of the "Comstock laws," could get no information from their doctors.

September 14 ~  Struggle for Expression Birth Control in America "Woman m u s t not a c c e p t ; she must challenge . She must not be a w e d by that which has been built up around her; she must reverence that woman in her which s t r u g g l e s for expression. " ~ Margaret Sanger Feminist Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) was born Margaret Louise Higgins on this day to a poor family in Corning, New York. Her crusade began when she watched her mother 's deterioration and death from 18 pregnancies. She coined the term birth control and fought with tenacity for women at a time when women did not even have the right to vote. "No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her own body," she said, defying church and state. "No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother." Charismatic and controversial, in 1914 Sanger published the newspaper The Women Rebel . Two years later, she opened the first family planning clinic in Brooklyn, was jailed for 30 days, adding fire to the cause which gave women the right to control their own lives. In 1921, she established the American Birth Control League which eventually became Planned Parenthood "The first right of every child is to be wanted, to be desired, to be planned for with an intensity of
