Fifty-nine years ago today, on September 6, 1966 (July 22, 1966 in the lunar calendar), birth control advocate Sanger passed away. Birth control advocate Sanger Malorite Sanger was a lucky visionary. She was unlike other great women like Susan B-Anthony. They never saw women get the right to vote, while Mrs. Sanger saw her dream come true. During her lifetime, new and effective forms of birth control developed, which fundamentally enriched the lives of millions of women and men. Mrs. Sanger made that dream a reality. Mrs. Sanger passed away today at the age of 82. Her original name was Margaret-Higgins. She grew up in the governor of New York. Her father was an alcoholic socialist, and her mother was exhausted from having more than 10 children. After becoming a nurse, Von Gretel witnessed firsthand the nasty consequences of abortions performed by individuals, and she vowed to end it all. The nurse raised 3 children (one died soon after). She promoted birth control knowledge by mailing letters with great fanfare. She went to France to learn about contraceptives, and she came back with some uterine pads, diaphragms, and condoms. In 1916 she opened a birth control clinic in Brooklyn, which soon closed. Step by step, she attacked laws against birth control until 1953, when she became president of the International Planned Parenthood Association. Her greatest success was the birth control pill. After reading monographs in medical journals on the feasibility of the pill, she urged scientists to make it an oral contraceptive. Critics criticized the pill, and indirectly accused Mrs. Sanger of engaging in the current fashion of sexual liberation. Mrs. Sanger might argue that there is no more sex between men and women now than in the past, they are just more enjoyable.
