Book summaryIn this history of birth control, author Tone explains how businessmen, religious leaders, and politicians battled to control the use of contraceptives between 1873 and the 1970s. In doing so, she introduces readers to contraception pioneers, like Margaret Sanger, who longed to make birth control available to the poor, and Julius Schmidt, a paralyzed German immigrant who applied his sausage-making knowledge to condom production. Tone also describes the inhumane testing procedures early birth control makers used, legal battles that erupted, clashes with the Church, and more. Media reviews"Thoroughly documented and often trenchant insights on how medicine combined with business to effect a moral revolution." |
