The Pivot of Civilization

"The Pivot of Civilization" by Margaret Sanger is a compelling examination of how controlling reproduction shapes a thriving society. Presenting a view from the early 1900s, the book argues that the key to modern progress lies in embracing birth control. The story highlights the conflict between old beliefs that limit freedom and a new way of thinking based on science and self-control. Sanger shares her own journey to show how important it is to give people, especially women, the power to make smart choices about having children. She challenges the rules and customs that cause pain and lack of knowledge, pushing for women to be free from the pressures of unwanted pregnancies so they can help build a better future for everyone.
