Margaret Sanger, the American birth-control and population-control advocate who founded Planned Parenthood, stands like a giant among her contemporaries. With her dominating yet winning personality, she helped generate shifts of opinion on issues that were not even publicly discussed prior to her activism, while her leadership was arguably the single most important factor in achieving social and legislative victories that set the parameters for todays political discussion of family-planning funding, population-control aid, and even sex education.

This work addresses Sangers ideas concerning birth control, eugenics, population control, and sterilization against the backdrop of the larger eugenic context.

Objective, useful, academic and dry

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2012

Verified Purchase

This is a book that thoroughly supports its thesis, even to the point of being dry in some places. But that is necessary to support her arguments. To cover the bases of what she is claiming it requires evidence that she researched the material. She has. Margaret Sanger had a real and dark agenda and Franks is methodical about exposing it.

Didn't I blow your mind this time?

This book has literally changed my perspective. I knew that Sanger was considered a eugenist, however I did not know how she was exactly connected. This book gives a logical, historical and analytical objective prospective that basically blew my mind.

A Book That Ties The Birth Control Movement To Eugenics

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2009

Verified Purchase

This book connects some dots in history that our public education and college educations don't want connected namely Margaret Sanger's hand in helping to motivate the most sinister scientific idealogy in history EUGENICS! It examines Planned Parenthood's many leaders who were also eugenicists. Keep in mind that eugenics was anathema to woman's rights to reproduce being that at it's apex it led to the administration of mandatory sterilization of thousands of womenfrom disadvantaged backgrounds. This book led me to gems like this article featured in the NY Times in 1950 of Margaret Sanger calling for the government to forcebly sterilize women [...]

The book's references are all listed in the extensive bibliography and all the author's research was done in the library of congress so most of the book is based on the key player's own quotes. She even gets into how eugenics is connected to the genetic engineering movement. The book is written in a very eloquent manner but is not difficult to read or bogged down with overly academic terminology also the author doesn't tow the line that most authors do when criticising the birth control movement and evagelizing through the entire book with religious passages.

Historical, not political

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2010

Verified Purchase

I thought it was a factually written work of history. Having my degree in historical studies, I thought that she did a wonderful job delving into the facts, and citing the appropriate references for her arguments. I would encourage readers to read this book, and not to shy away from a work for fear of what facts it might bring forth. It is most definitely a historical, not political work.

Margaret Sanger is an amazing woman! Her work for women's reproductive rights is amazing! All women need to be aware of the efforts Margaret Sanger made that have had an impact on their individual daily lives today.
