42. Margaret Sanger: Radiant Rebel Margaret Sanger (18791966), in a UCLA Extension course, was profiled along withDarwin, Diego Rivera, and Ghandi as one of the Four Who Shook the Twentieth http://www.miriamreed.com/sanger.htm

MARGARET SANGER (1879-1966), in a UCLA Extension course, was profiled along with Darwin, Diego Rivera, and Ghandi as one of the "Four Who Shook the Twentieth Century." And indeed she did change the twentieth century by dedicating her life to supporting the rights of women and children, teaching and lecturing on birth control throughout the world and organizing the first world conference on population control. As a nurse working in New York City's Lower East Side, Sanger saw how the lives of both mothers and children were destroyed by large families: the health of the mother broken and the children remanded to poverty. Yet women were ignorant how to prevent conception, and federal law forbade contraceptive advice even by a medical doctorthis dictated by the narrow-minded Comstock federal laws, which classified the discussion of contraception as an "obscenity." For three decades, Sanger fought the Comstock laws with personal and political action, with lectures and press conferences, with newspaper and book publications, with international conferences that she personally organized, with extensive scientific research, and by establishing a birth control clinic that educated and cared for women. Sanger did not advocate abortion, but prevention. Her work led to what became the international Planned Parenthood organization and to development of the first birth control pill.

How Did the Debate Between Margaret Sanger and Mary Ware Dennett Shape the Movement to Legalize Birth Control? Introduction Margaret Sanger and the American Birth Control League. Photo courtesy of the Library of Congress Documents selected and interpreted by Melissa Doak and Rachel Brugger State University of New York at Binghamton December 1999 Last updated April 1, 2000 The Comstock Law of 1873, officially the Act for the Suppression of Trade in, and Circulation of, Obscene Literature and Articles of Immoral Use, declared the distribution of information about contraception obscene and therefore illegal for the first time in the history of the United States. By 1885, twenty-four states had followed the federal government's lead and passed "little Comstock laws," at times going considerably farther than the parent federal legislation.[ ] The Comstock law, the culmination of both a personal crusade by Anthony Comstock and a "social purity" campaign that aimed to eradicate drunken and licentious behavior, ended two centuries of free dissemination of information about how to prevent pregnancy. One historian has argued that after 1873, while some contraceptive information remained available in veiled advertisements and subtly worded advice literature, both the quality and quantity of contraceptive information, advice, and devices were decidedly inferior to that available before the passage of the Comstock Law. The new legislation especially limited the access of impoverished Americans to information about how to prevent pregnancy because wealthier women could often obtain medical advice.[

49. MARGARET SANGER United States (18791966). Margaret Sanger was one of the first women to publiclyproclaim that women had a fundamental right to control their bodies. http://www.usd.edu/honors/HWB/hwb_i/sanger.htm

MARGARET SANGER United States Margaret Sanger was one of the first women to publicly proclaim that women had a fundamental right to control their bodies. She believed access to safe and reliable birth control to be a necessary part of the liberation of women. Ms. Sanger pushed for equality of women in all spheres of life and insisted that an important facet of this was the liberation of sexuality for women. She prophesied women gaining the legalization of contraception along with greater freedom to speak of and practice sexa freedom which men already possessed. She published pamphlets, journals, books, gave lectures, and set up an international network of health care clinics where a full range of preventive health care including contraception, gynecology, sex education, and counseling was provided for poor women and also those who felt more at ease in a female clinic. Throughout her struggle to legalize contraceptives she encountered many barriers, including her jailing in 1917 and subsequent trial for distributing condoms in Brooklyn. Due to her perseverance, however, the Supreme Court of the United States declared contraceptives legal and during Lyndon Johnson's term he implemented family planing into America's public health and social welfare programs. By making contraceptives legal and widely available, women acquired more control over their bodies and thus over their lives in general. This newly gained control gave women more self-confidence and assurance to proceed to assert themselves and their ideas into other facets of life.

Women History Makers Jane Addams (1860-1935) This social reformer devoted her life to helping the urban poor. In 1889, she founded the Hull House in a Chicago slum, with programs such as day care and adult education. One of the first settlement houses in America, Hull House inspired many others across the nation. Although she was widely criticized for her opposition to World War I, Addams later became one of the most admired activists of the time, winning the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1931.

Recognizing the lack of diversity in the fields of science and technology, she is committed to encouraging both women and minorities to pursue careers in these areas.

Margaret Louise Sanger Women.com ranks Margaret Sanger No. 39 in it's list of the Top 100 Women of the Millenium! Margaret Sanger started a movement that lead to women having more control over their own bodies, leading the push for free access to birth control. Margaret was the sixth of eleven children. She was born on September 14, 1879, in Corning, NY. She saw her own mother die of tuberculosis due to too many pregnancies. Because of her mom's death, Margaret decided to become a maternity nurse. She saw many pregnant women who knew nothing about preventing pregnancies and could not receive information from doctors about birth control. Many of the women she saw had tried self-induced or "back alley" abortions. A few of the women had died because of these unhealthy abortion practices. Due to all of the terrible things she had seen, Margaret decided that women needed to be educated about birth control and have access to it. In 1914, she launched a publication entitled, The Women Rebel , a monthly feminist newspaper that advocated birth control. Because of this newspaper she was indicted for sending "obscene" materials, which forced her to flee to Europe, where she continued to gather her information.

Women’s History Month Margaret Sanger Margaret Sanger is one of the best known leaders of the birth control movement, and the founder of Planned Parenthood. She was not only the catalyst of important change for American women, but for women around the world. Inspired at a young age by her mother’s deteriorated health after bearing eleven children. Since her family was poor, Margaret’s mother also shouldered most of the responsibilities of raising her clan. Margaret swore she would not repeat her mother’s history. Margaret became a nurse in 1902, treating mostly poor immigrant women in New York’s Lower East side. Sanger’s life path was altered when one of her patient’s died as a result of a self-induced abortion. Although the women’s religion did not prohibit the use of contraception, information was not readily available to her on how to safely prevent pregnancy. At the time, birth control was associated closely with prostitution. “Birth control” was synonymous with obscenity, and therefore an illegal topic for writing and public address. When Margaret began printing the “Women Rebel” in 1914, postal inspectors kept a close watch on her. She was eventually arrested and indicted for her “feminist” views. She fled to Europe shortly after.

Comets Across The Sky Artwork: Bachanten II by Anita van Kempen Yesterday's Trailblazer The Woman Rebel Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) The century had changed not too many years earlier and Margaret Sanger, laboring daily as a home nurse in the immigrant ghettos in New York, felt the times needed changing also. Watching women die in childbirth, which came too often and too harshly, motivated her to publish The Woman Rebel and establish the National Birth Control League in 1914. Through these efforts, she coined the term "birth control" and established the principle that the foundation of human rights is based upon a woman's right to control her body. She was the first to promote the concepts of every child as a wanted child and every woman entitled to decide when, or whether, to have a child. She didn't stop there and further introduced the idea that women are entitled to sexual pleasure and fulfillment, just like men. The Woman Rebel taught wives to fight for their own rights, and revealed there were safe ways for women to prevent excess pregnancies. Becoming a national symbol of protest, her goal was to eliminate the tyranny of unwanted pregnancy, thus giving women control over their own lives. 1915 found her debating, in court, whether poor women might receive the same access to birth control the rich enjoyed. Undaunted, she opened a birth control clinic in Brooklyn in 1916 and was arrested for creating a public nuisance. Still she pressed on, challenging and defeating both federal and state "Comstock Laws" which prohibited the dissemination of birth control information to women, including publication and distribution of information about sex, sexuality, contraception, and human reproduction. The defeat of these laws nationwide allowed doctors to freely disseminate birth control information for the first time in our nation's history.
