?Family Limitations? (1914), by Margaret Higgins Sanger
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 1914, Margaret Sanger published ?Family Limitations,? a pamphlet describing six different types of contraceptive methods. At the time Sanger published the pamphlet, the federal Comstock Act of 1873 [4] had made distributing contraceptive and abortion [5] information through the US postal service illegal. The Comstock Act classified contraceptive information as obscene and limited the amount of information available to individuals about preventing pregnancies. In 1915, Sanger?s husband was charged with violating the Comstock Act for distributing ?Family Limitations? and was sent to jail for 30 days. The case sparked many birth control [6] activists to lobby for the repeal of the Comstock Act. By inciting controversy during a time when the Comstock Act limited contraception [7] access, Sanger?s pamphlet ?Family Limitations? increased women?s knowledge about various methods of preventing pregnancy [8].
