The Mother Of Birth Control

"A woman cannot call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother."

In the year of 1916, Margret Sanger, a former nurse, contributed to the changes America started to undergo during the beginning of the Progressive era. She coined the phrase "birth control" and eventually convinced the courts that the Comstock Act did not stop doctors from distributing birth control devices and information. She was the founder of Planned Parenthood, and helped in the making of the birth control pill, which was came into availability in 1960.
