The Case for Birth Control, 88 years ago, Feb 23rd

Margaret Higgins Sanger (September 14, 1879 – September 6, 1966) was an American sex educator, nurse, and birth control activist. Sanger coined the term birth control, opened the first birth control clinic in the United States, and established Planned Parenthood. Sanger's efforts contributed to the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case which legalized contraception in the United States. Her famous article, The Case for Birth Control, was first published in the WOMAN CITIZEN, Volume 8, February 23, 1924. Three years later, her book on sex education appeared.
