Abstract

The article focuses on the history of the fight for birth control, highlighting the contrasting approaches of American activists Margaret Sanger and Mary Ware Dennett. Topics discussed include the ideological and personal differences between Sanger's radical activism and Dennett's more cautious strategy; the impact of societal and political forces like the Comstock Act on reproductive rights; and the eugenics movement's intersection with birth control advocacy.
