Choices of the Heart: The Margaret Sanger Story

In 1914, nurse Margaret Sanger became a pioneering crusader for women's reproductive rights after she published a booklet on birth-control techniques that flew in the face of a law established by Anthony Comstock forbidding the dissemination of information on contraception. Sanger later helped to establish America's first birth-control clinic in 1916, and in 1925 was one of the founders of Planned Parenthood.
