- Volume II documents a difficult period for the American feminist and reformer Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) as she faced political opposition to getting birth control legislation passed. Documents will track the efforts of her Congressional lobbying group, the National Committee for Federal Legislation on Birth Control, as their efforts to amend the Comstock Act, as well as efforts to incorporate birth control into New Deal public health programs. It also will trace efforts to expand the reach of birth control clinics to rural and African-American women as well as Sanger's decision to shift from legislative to judicial reform.
