About this book
Margaret Sanger's groundbreaking manifesto Woman and the New Race presents a revolutionary argument for reproductive freedom that challenged the political and social foundations of early twentieth-century America. Written by the pioneering birth control activist and nurse who defied laws to bring contraception to American women, this essential historical work explores how access to family planning could liberate women from the cycle of forced motherhood and transform society itself.
Published in 1920, Sanger's treatise examines the interconnected struggles of the women's movement and the labor movement, tracing how population control intersects with economic justice, social progress, and human dignity. The audiobook reveals a complex and often-overlooked chapter of American history, when Sanger's advocacy sparked fierce debates connecting reproductive rights to broader questions of equality and societal advancement. With a preface by pioneering sex educator Havelock Ellis, this political economy classic offers compelling insight into the ideological battles that shaped modern feminism.
Ideal for listeners interested in women's history, political activism, and the origins of reproductive rights movements, Woman and the New Race remains a provocative and thought-provoking exploration of how individual choice drives social change. This audiobook is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand the historical foundations of ongoing debates about women's autonomy and social progress.
