S.N. First Edition. Stapled Binding. Near Fine. First Polish edition. 14 pp. Self wrappers. Polish edition of the work originally published in 1914. Hoolihan 3090. From Hoolihan 3084, describing the first edition: "Family limitation defends a woman's right to control her body, defends her right to have an abortion if she does not choose to be pregnant, and gives simple, explicit directions for a variety of ways to prevent conception. After forty years of 'Com-stockery' -- decades during which obscenity laws in the United States prohibited the provision of information on sex education or contraception through the mails -- the publication of Family limitation was a remarkable act of civil disobedience and the opening volley of the birth control movement in 20th century America... Appearing on the eve of World War I and during a period of significant labor trouble -- a time when the authorities hoped to suppress any form of dissent -- Family limitation also urged 'women of the working class' not to provide cannon fodder for the wars of 'financiers and the ruling classes'.
