520    This work tells the story of a group of reformers 
       dedicated to making contraception legal, accessible, and 
       acceptable. It details how Margaret Sanger's campaign 
       beginning in 1914 to challenge anti obscenity laws 
       criminalizing the distribution of contraceptive 
       information grew into one of the most far reaching social 
       reform movements in American history. The book opens with 
       a discussion of the history of birth control methods and 
       the criminalization of contraception and abortion in the 
       19th century. The women-led birth control movement defied 
       the law to advocate one of the most controversial ideas in
       modern times: that women should have control over if and 
       when to have children. The movement overcame government 
       suppression and vigorous religious and moral opposition to
       insure that contraception became a necessary component of 
       modern healthcare. The core of the book is a narrative of 
       the campaign in the 20th century, recalling the arrests 
       and indictments, banned publications, imprisonments, 
       confiscations, clinic raids, mass meetings, and courtroom 
       dramas that publicized the cause across the nation. 
       Attention is paid to the movement's thorny alliances with 
       medicine and eugenics and especially to its success in 
       precipitating a profound shift in sexual attitudes that 
       turned the use of contraception into an acceptable social 
       practice. Finally, the birth control movement is linked to
       court won privacy protections and the present day movement
       for reproductive rights.
