Pivot of Civilization
by Margaret Sanger
About this book
Margaret Sanger's most important and well known work, Sanger argues through her background in medicine the relation between disease and suffering caused by unwanted pregnancies and urges for women's rights and medical rights over personal control of contraceptive remedies. Additionally, the work is controversial with its eugenic overtones and discussion of overpopulation, particularly how the two relate in controlling populations deemed "unfit".
