520    At least five scientists have been proclaimed "the father 
       of the Pill." We learn here that the credit for its 
       conception belongs to two women who "stand by themselves 
       as the indisputable mothers of the Pill." One of them, 
       Margaret Sanger, was already famous - to many, notorious. 
       The other, Katharine McCormick, didn't even rate an 
       obituary in the nation's leading newspapers. Here is a 
       spellbinding tale of visions and blindness, testing and 
       trials, setbacks and triumphs; of quirky scientists who 
       turned to deciphering nature, and drug companies who 
       turned away. It takes us into the hushed halls of the 
       Vatican, where celibates gingerly stepped around the Pill,
       pondering what it was, how it worked, and what it meant - 
       until they came to the verge of approving it; and from 
       there to the raucous explosion in college dorms of "sex, 
       drugs, and rock 'n' roll"--And some surprising conclusions
       about the supposed causes of the sexual revolution.
