"Family Limitation" by Margaret Sanger is a groundbreaking guide focused on birth control and women's health during a time when such topics were taboo. It's essentially an educational manual written for working-class women so they can learn about and use ways to prevent getting pregnant when they didn't want to be. The author explains how pregnancy happens and then goes over different methods of birth control: things like condoms, pessaries, douching, and special suppositories. Sanger's main point is that women should be in charge of their own bodies and family planning by learning how to prevent unwanted pregnancies, which leads to stronger and healthier lives. This idea was meant to challenge society's norms and put power back in the hands of women, advocating for reproductive rights through information and awareness.
