I think the novelty of birth control and it's practices were particularly interesting during this time period. It was a process which was becoming more widely popularized because it was directly connected to women's growing independence from men. I agree with the fact that birth control began to empower women because it allowed them to choose weather or not they wanted to get pregnant, whereas previously they were almost forced into sex. I think Sanger was wise in attempting to make birth control a more medical issue , but I also think it has feminist elements because it was able to empower women to make more significant sexual decisions.-Afrisk | I think the novelty of birth control and it's practices were particularly interesting during this time period.
