Book Description

Margaret Sanger, mother of the birth control movement in America, published this marriage manual in 1926. In the book, which was one of the first of its kind allowed to be sold, Ms. Sanger offers practical and intimate advice for achieving the ideal relationship. Today, more than 60 years later, her advice is both valuable and thoroughly modern. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

This review is from: Happiness in Marriage (Paperback)

Margaret Sanger is what she is marketed as the feminists community; a no nonsense voice of sexual liberation. Her work, such as this book, seems outdated on the offset but is really still applicable today. Day time talk shows often have on guests that encourage women to "know their bodies," to know what it does and what is healthy for it and yet the same information is printed here in a book that was at our great-grandmothers disposal. Sanger says "here is your clitoris and hymen," "here is how a penis works," "relations without the goal of impregnation should be encouraged but done safely." She even encourages open and frank communication between partners.

Sanger could have been a great Oprah.

Internet, please supply for me some Sanger on Oprah rule 34.
