Read this Biographical Sketch by The Margaret Sanger Papers Project - a historical editing project initially sponsored by the Department of History and then by the Division of Libraries at New York University. Dr. Esther Katz developed the project in 1985 to “locate, arrange, edit, research, and publish the papers of the noted birth control pioneer.”
Planned Parenthood released these Opposition Claims to address disputed beliefs Sanger held. While she played an important role in advocating for birth control access, she also promoted “…beliefs, practices, and associations that we acknowledge and denounce, and that we work to rectify today.”
