Margaret Sanger's Eugenic Legacy
by Angela Franks
Margaret Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood. Most biographies hail her as a pioneer for women's rights. But Angela Franks shows that eugenics and "race improvement" were Margaret Sanger's significant motivations. In this thoroughly researched work, Angela Franks argues for a feminism that embraces women's fertility, rather than supressing it. I read this book on the airplane on the way to a conference in DC on Human Fertility. One of the other speakers at the conference discussed the connection between eugenics and the British birth control movement. When I held up my copy of Angela Frank's book, everyone at the conference wanted one. But I didn't want to part with my copy! Now you can have this book for yourself.
Get this book. Dr J.
