A rallying cry for change in early 20th-century America, The Pivot of Civilization confronts the urgent social issues of its time with unflinching clarity. Margaret Sanger, a pioneering voice in the women's rights movement, weaves together progressive era social commentary and a visionary call for family planning, reshaping the boundaries of feminist literature. Her advocacy for reproductive rights and accessible birth control transformed public debate, laying the groundwork for future generations and influencing figures such as Emma Goldman. Through incisive analysis and passionate argument, Sanger explores the intersecting forces of poverty, inequality, and gender, making this work a cornerstone of social reform literature. Readers encounter not only the roots of the planned parenthood movement but also a vivid portrait of early 1900s America-a period alive with activism and hope. The Pivot of Civilization endures as essential reading for those drawn to birth control pioneers, the history of family planning, and the evolution of early 20th-century feminism. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today-a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. For anyone seeking insight into the origins of reproductive rights advocacy and the social reforms that shaped our world, Sanger's landmark work remains both a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
Autorenporträt
Margaret Higgins Sanger, later known as Margaret Sanger, was an influential American birth control activist, sex educator, writer, and nurse, born on September 14, 1879, in Corning, New York. She was the daughter of Michael Hennessy Higgins and Anne Purcell Higgins. Sanger's early life was shaped by the death of her mother, which fueled her dedication to improving women's health and reproductive rights. She attended Claverack College and later pursued a career as a nurse, where she became increasingly aware of the challenges women faced due to lack of access to birth control. Her advocacy for reproductive rights led her to found what would eventually become Planned Parenthood, a key organization in the movement for women's health and family planning. Sanger's work and writings, including her landmark book Woman and the New Race, promoted birth control as a means of empowering women, improving public health, and advancing social reform. She had three children: Peggy Sanger, Stuart Sanger, and Grant Sanger. Sanger passed away on September 6, 1966, in Tucson, Arizona, leaving behind a profound legacy in the fight for women's autonomy over their bodies and reproductive choices.
