520    In this lively new biography, an historian argues 
       convincingly that Margaret Sanger deserves the vaunted 
       place in feminist history she once held. Baker's nuanced 
       account of Sanger's life emphasizes the passion of her 
       convictions. 
520    Margaret Sanger ignited a movement that has shaped our 
       society to this day. A frequent target of so-called family
       values activists, she has also been neglected by 
       progressives, who cite her socialist leanings and 
       purported belief in eugenics. Trained as a nurse, Sanger 
       saw the dangers of unplanned pregnancy and pioneered the 
       first family planning clinic, the forerunner to Planned 
       Parenthood. The movement she started spread across the 
       country, eventually becoming a vast international 
       organization with her as its spokeswoman. The author 
       demonstrates that Sanger's staunch advocacy of women's 
       privacy and freedom extended to her personal life as well:
       after abandoning the trappings of home and family for a 
       globe-trotting life, she became notorious for the sheer 
       number of her romantic entanglements. She lived long 
       enough to witness the advent of "free love" and the 
       creation of the birth control pill--which finally made 
       planned pregnancy a reality.
