Reviews

Sanger's self-made myth

(0.5 stars)

Timothy Foster

It was well read, it was also against what Sanger herself said in interviews. I guess back in the day you could hide prejudice.

Beautifully read. l loved listening to it all. A very engaging and important diary and record of the hard won women's rights to birth control, hence ultimate better health and opportunity for women and indeed their children and husbands.

Excellent book
