Margaret Sanger: an autobiography. by Margaret Sanger
"Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography" by Margaret Sanger is a historical account written in the late 1930s. The book chronicles the life of Sanger, a pioneering figure in the birth control movement, and her experiences growing up in a large Irish-American family. It delves into her early influences, family dynamics, and the societal norms of her time that shaped her revolutionary beliefs about women's rights and reproductive health. The opening of the autobiographypaints a vivid picture of Sanger's childhood in Corning, New York, where she reflects on her parents' contrasting personalities and values. Her father, a nonconformist and a talented marble carver, encouraged free thought and education, while her mother struggled with health issues yet maintained a nurturing household. Sanger describes the challenges of growing up in a large family, the financial hardships they faced, and how these experiences instilled in her a keen sense of social justice. As she recounts her formative years, it is clear that these early influences played a significant role in her later activism for women's rights and family planning.
