Why birth control is so crucial to the transformation in women’s lives that feminists anticipated?…
The history of birth control dates back for many years. The fight to have it legalized was initially started by a woman named Margaret Sanger. This passion and motivation ultimately stemmed from Margaret's own family tragedy: watching her mother die of tuberculosis after bearing eleven children.
