The movement overcame government suppression and vigorous religious and moral opposition to insure that contraception became a necessary component of modern healthcare. A History of the Birth Control Movement in America tells the extraordinary story of a group of reformers dedicated to making contraception legal, accessible, and acceptable. This engrossing narrative details how Margaret Sanger's campaign beginning in 1914 to challenge anti obscenity laws criminalizing the distribution of contraceptive information grew into one of the most far reaching social reform movements in American history. The book opens with a discussion of the history of birth control methods and the criminalization of contraception and abortion in the 19th century. Its core, however, is an exciting narrative of the campaign in the 20th century, vividly recalling the arrests and indictments, banned publications, imprisonments, confiscations, clinic raids, mass meetings, and courtroom dramas that publicized the cause across the nation. Attention is paid to the movement's thorny alliances with medicine and eugenics and especially to its success in precipitating a profound shift in sexual attitudes that turned the use of contraception into an acceptable social practice. Finally, the birth control movement is linked to court won privacy protections and the present day movement for reproductive rights. --Book Jacket. 000351834 650_0 $$aBirth control$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000351834 650_0 $$aBirth control$$xPolitical aspects$$zUnited States. 000351834 650_0 $$aBirth control clinics$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000351834 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000351834 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aEngelman, Peter.$$tHistory of the birth control movement.$$dSanta Barbara, Calif. : Praeger, 2011$$z9780313365096$$w(DLC) 2010050979$$w(OCoLC)676729133 000351834 8520_ $$bacq 000351834 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000351834 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=678299$$zOnline Access 000351834 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:351834$$pGLOBAL_SET 000351834 980__ $$aEBOOK 000351834 980__ $$aBIB 000351834 982__ $$aEbook 000351834 983__ $$aOnline
