Woman of Valor Margaret Sanger and the Birth
Control Movement in America
Sinopsis
This illuminating biography of Margaret
Sanger8212th woman who fought for birth
control in America8212decribes her childhood,
her private life, her relationships with Emma
Goldman and John Reed, her public role, and
more.Margaret Sanger went to jail in 1917 for
distributing contraceptives to immigrant women in
a makeshift clinic in Brooklyn. She died a
half-century later, just after the Supreme Court
guaranteed constitutional protection for the use
of contraceptives. Now, Ellen Chesler provides an
authoritative and widely acclaimed biography of
this great emancipator, whose lifelong struggle
helped women gain control over their own bodies.
An idealist who mastered practical politics,
Sanger seized on contraception as the key to
redistributing power to women in the bedroom, the
home, and the community. For fifty years, she
battled formidable opponents ranging from the US
Government to the Catholic Church. Her crusade
was both passionate and paradoxical. She was an
advocate of female solidarity who often preferred
the company of men an adoring mother who
abandoned her children a socialist who became a
registered Republican a sexual adventurer who
remained an incurable romantic. Her
comrades-in-arms included Emma Goldman and John
Reed her lovers, Havelock Ellis and H.G. Wells.
Drawing on new information from archives and
interviews, Chesler illuminates
Sanger8217sturbulent personal story as well as
the history of the birth control movement. An
intimate biography of a visionary rebel, Woman
of Valor is also an epic story that extends from
the radical movements of pre-World
3
War I to the family planning initiatives of the
Great Society. At a time when women8217sreproduc
tive and sexual autonomy is once again under
attack, this landmark biography is indispensable
reading for the generations in debt to Sanger for
the freedoms they take for granted.
