Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Ellen Chesler's 1992 biography of Margaret Sanger is acclaimed as definitive and is widely used and cited by scholars and activists alike in the fields of women's health and reproductive rights. Chesler's substantive new Afterword considers how Sanger's life and work hold up in light of subsequent developments, such as U.S. Supreme Court cases challenging the constitutional doctrine of privacy and international definitions of reproductive health as an essential human right. Review:"The Sanger portrayed by Chesler is compelling, and persuasively counters the tendency of earlier biographers to either eulogize or condemn...Chesler's exhaustive scholarship has yielded not only a fuller picture of Sanger but new knowledge about the history of birth control." — Rosalind Pollack Petchesky, Boston Sunday Globe Review:"Chesler illuminates Sanger's rich personal and public life with a sophisticated understanding of psychology and history, yet the book reads like a good novel."-- Sylvia A. Law, Professor of Law, New York University Review:"A major contribution to women's history." — Library Journal Review:"Authoritative, readable and rippling with the energy of the life it conveys."-- Daniel J.
