Trade Paperback. llen Chesler's 1992 biography of Margaret Sanger is acclaimed as definitive and is widely used and cited by scholars and activists alike in the fields of women's health and reproductive rights. Chesler's substantive new Afterword considers how Sanger's life and work hold up in light of subsequent developments, such as U.S. Supreme Court cases challenging the constitutional doctrine of privacy and international definitions of reproductive health as an essential human right. Chesler illuminates Sanger's turbulent personal story, as well as the history of the birth control movement, in an intimate biography of a visionary rebel. Indispensable reading for the generations of women who take their reproductive and sexual freedoms for granted.
