http://www.liquidleaf.com/historia/sanger.html

Extractions: Margaret became a nurse, and during her career she discovered that poor people usually had more children than wealthy people. Poor people had trouble raising their children because they did not have enough money to provide what each child needed. Margaret sold her house and with her savings, she, her husband and children went to Europe to find out how to help women control their pregnancies, called "birth control". She helped to educate women on how to plan the size of their families, and opened clinics to help women learn these ideas. At that time, these ideas were against the law and Margaret was arrested many times. Margaret fought these laws, traveled and spoke about her ideas, and became the first president of Planned Parenthood.

Sanger was honorary chairperson of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc., which was formed from the American Birth Control League in 1942. Throughout her career Sanger traveled extensively, particularly in Europe and Asia, to publicize the birth-control movement. She died on September 6, 1966, in Tucson, Arizona. She wrote several books on birth control and

Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History , pioneer birth-control advocate. Sanger was born in Corning, New York, one of eleven children of Irish-American parents. Her mother was Catholic, her father a radical follower of freethinker Robert Ingersoll and single-taxer Henry George. Sanger later attributed the family's lack of prosperity and her mother's death at forty-nine to her parents' having had so many children. The inequality she observed between them stimulated her lifelong social activism. Margaret, with help from her sisters, attended Claverack College, after which she went to nursing school. She did not immediately use her medical training because, she later wrote, William Sanger "pressured" her into marrying and leaving school in 1902. Sanger, an artist and architect, moved the family (soon to include three children) to suburban Westchester. While he commuted to New York, Margaret grew restless as a result of her isolation and full-time housekeeping. In 1910 the Sangers moved back to Manhattan, and Margaret began working as a visiting nurse on the Lower East Side. She became active in radical politics, joining the Socialist party and working with the Industrial Workers of the World in supporting several militant strikes. From this network she absorbed feminist ideas and came to agree with Emma Goldman that women had a right to control their sexual and reproductive lives. Her work as a nurse with the poor further convinced her that birth control was vital to women's health and freedom.

Extractions: Sponsorship Margaret Sanger Born: Margaret Louise Higgins on 14 September, 1879 Corning, New York Her free-thinking father's politics might have ignited her activism, but watching the process of her mother, aged 50 years, die after 18 pregnancies probably had an even deeper impact. Higgins was a nursing student in 1902 when she married architect William Sanger. Although weakened by bouts of tuberculosis, she bore three children between 1902 and 1910. The Sangers immersed themselves in the radical political and intellectual world of Greenwich Village in New York City. She worked as a visiting nurse in the city's tenements and wrote about sex education and women's health. In 1914, Sanger's articles in The Woman Radical brought her a federal indictment for violating federal postal obscenity laws, prompting her to flee to England. As soon as the ship left U.S. waters, she cabled a radical publisher in New Jersey to distribute 100,000 copies of her pamphlet, Family Limitation. Sanger remained exiled in Europe until late 1915; William Sanger had been arrested and jailed for distributing one copy of Family Limitation, and Margaret Sanger returned to face the charges against her. Rather than backing away from controversy, Sanger and her sister Ethel Byrne, also a nurse, opened the first birth control clinic in the United States, modeled after those Sanger had seen in Holland. On October 16, 1916, dozens of Jewish and Italian immigrant women from Brooklyn's crowded Brownsville section lined up to receive counseling and birth control information. Nine days later police closed the clinic and arrested Sanger, Byrne, and the clinic's interpreter. Byrne was tried and convicted first, and went on a hunger strike. Sanger was convicted and served 30 days in jail. Legal failure had brought victory, however. The publicity surrounding Sanger's activities had made birth control a matter of public debate.

Extractions: Margaret Sanger By courtesy of Planned Parenthood-Federation of America, Inc. (1879-1966), social reformer Born on September 14, 1879, in Corning, New York, Margaret Louisa Higgins was the sixth of 11 children. She attended Claverack College and then took nurse's training at the White Plains (N.Y.) Hospital and the Manhattan Eye and Ear Clinic. She was married twice: to William Sanger in 1900 and, after a divorce, to J. Noah H. Slee in 1922. After a brief teaching career she practiced obstetrical nursing on the Lower East Side of New York City, where she witnessed the relationships among poverty, uncontrolled fertility, high rates of infant and maternal mortality, and deaths from botched illegal abortions. These observations made Sanger a feminist who believed in every woman's right to avoid unwanted pregnancies, and she committed herself to removing the legal barriers to publicizing the facts about contraception. In 1912 Sanger gave up nursing to devote herself to the cause of birth control , a term she is credited with originating. In 1914 she issued a short-lived magazine

Extractions: The sixth of 11 children in a poor Irish family, Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) had seen her own mother die at the age of 49 as the result of tuberculosis contracted after too many pregnancies. In the early 1910s, Sanger worked as a maternity nurse on the Lower East Side of New York, delivering babies in the homes of poor, mostly immigrant women. The women she nursed knew nothing of how to prevent pregnancy and, because of the "Comstock laws," could get no information from their doctors. Instead, they resorted to the illegal practitioners of five-dollar abortions, on whose tables many of them died. "Tales," Sanger wrote, "were poured into my ears a baby born dead, great relief the death of an older child, sorrow but again relief of a sort the story told a thousand times of death from abortion and children going into institutions. I shuddered with horror as I listened to the details and studied the reasons back of them destitution linked with excessive childbearing. The waste of life seemed utterly senseless."

Extractions: Volume 1, Issue 2 Margaret Sanger: A Woman on the Front Lines of Reproductive Freedom. by EM Staff Margaret Sanger "No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother." Margaret Sanger The , piece on Margaret Sanger, written by Gloria Steinhem, starts out by quoting literary seer, H.G. Wells's 1931 prediction, "The movement she started will grow to be, a hundred years from now, the most influential of all time. When the history of our civilization is written, it will be a biological history, and Margaret Sanger will be its heroine," couldn't have been more true, or more relevant in today's world. Now, when we have a president who is bent on reversing, internationally, a woman's self-determination regarding birth control and abortion, EM would like to honor the work and vision of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood Federation. Born in Corning, New York, on September 11, 1879, Margaret Sanger was the sixth of eleven children (eleven living children; but her mother had been pregnant eighteen times) born to Ann and Michael Higgins. Ann spent her days tending to her children while her husband worked as a sculptor. The arts, then as now, was not steady work, meaning that most of the time they lived in poverty. In spite of that, good cheer and good works abounded in the Higgins household. At an early age, Margaret was taught to do charity work and to be involved in her community. This duty to others and to a cause served her well as an adult.

Extractions: Margaret Sanger American social activist Margaret Sanger dedicated her life to making birth control available to all women in the world and thereby increased the quality and length of women's and children's lives. Introduction Margaret Louise Higgins was born on September 11, 1879, in Corning, New York. The sixth of eleven children born to Anne Purcell and Michael Hennessey Higgins, Margaret grew up in a bustling household in the woods on the outskirts of town. While her mother took care of the large family, her father worked as a sculptor, chiseling headstones for local cemeteries. His work was unsteady, and with so many mouths to feed the family usually struggled to make ends meet. Though poor themselves, the Higginses believed in helping others and taught Margaret to do the same. Her father often told her: "You have no right to material comforts without giving back to society the benefits of your honest experience" (Sanger, p. 23). Margaret greatly admired her father, who was known as somewhat of a rebel in town, and took his words to heart.

http://www.usd.edu/honors/HWB/hwb_i/sanger.htm

Extractions: Margaret Sanger was one of the first women to publicly proclaim that women had a fundamental right to control their bodies. She believed access to safe and reliable birth control to be a necessary part of the liberation of women. Ms. Sanger pushed for equality of women in all spheres of life and insisted that an important facet of this was the liberation of sexuality for women. She prophesied women gaining the legalization of contraception along with greater freedom to speak of and practice sexa freedom which men already possessed. She published pamphlets, journals, books, gave lectures, and set up an international network of health care clinics where a full range of preventive health care including contraception, gynecology, sex education, and counseling was provided for poor women and also those who felt more at ease in a female clinic. Throughout her struggle to legalize contraceptives she encountered many barriers, including her jailing in 1917 and subsequent trial for distributing condoms in Brooklyn. Due to her perseverance, however, the Supreme Court of the United States declared contraceptives legal and during Lyndon Johnson's term he implemented family planing into America's public health and social welfare programs. By making contraceptives legal and widely available, women acquired more control over their bodies and thus over their lives in general. This newly gained control gave women more self-confidence and assurance to proceed to assert themselves and their ideas into other facets of life.

None other than the founder of Planned Parenthood, a woman who is frequently defended as a shining example of selfless sacrifice for the good of humanity. Certainly Margaret Sanger, who died in her 80s in 1966, knew what it meant to be poor. One of 11 children born to poverty-stricken Irish-immigrant parents in Corning, N.Y, she rose to affluence when she dropped out of nursing school after only three months to marry a wealthy architect. She eventually settled in New York's Greenwich Village. There Sanger became closely associated with leading figures in the eugenics movement, many of whom played a prominent role in the foundation of Planned Parenthood.

WIKER While Planned Parenthood has been very careful to keep its founder's sexual and especially eugenic views from the light, they are a matter of public record, boldly and clearly expressed throughout Sanger's writings. Margaret Sanger Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was one of the lead architects of the culture of death. Not only was she a major contributor to the liberation of sexuality from all restraint, but sexual liberation was for her part of a larger program of eugenics. While Planned Parenthood has been very careful to keep its founder's sexual and especially eugenic views from the light, they are a matter of public record, boldly and clearly expressed throughout Sanger's writings. Sanger's dedication to the propagation and legalization of birth control was part of an overall eugenics program. Her journal, The Birth Control Review , was filled from cover to cover with the strongest and crudest eugenic propaganda. One of her favorite slogans, adorning each issue, was "Birth Control: To Create a Race of Thoroughbreds." For Sanger, the "lack of balance between the birth rate of the 'unfit' and the 'fit,'" was "the greatest present menace to civilization," so that "the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective." As with the other eugenicists of the early 20th century, Sanger was particularly upset by the presence of the "feeble-minded," a vague term which seemed to encompass everyone from the insane and those with nervous disorders, to those hitting low marks on the newly developed IQ tests. (By her estimate, some 70% of the population was feebleminded.)
