This lady was born in New York in 1883 and was one of those who got caught in the clutches of feminism, married and divorced and married a second time. She was the founder of the birth control movement in the United States and an international leader of that same movement. As a feminist, she believed in the right of all women to plan the size of her family and she worked to remove the legal barriers that prohibited the advertising of contraceptives. In 1914 she edited the magazine: The Rebellious Woman, later called Birth Control Magazine and distributed the pamphlet: “Limitation of the Family” and she was convicted of distributing pro-birth control material by mail. In 1916 she opened the first birth control clinic in the United States in Brooklyn. She was accused of promoting a public nuisance and was sentenced to hard labor for 30 days. In 1921 she founded the American Birth Control League and was its president until 1928. She organized the first World Population Conference, in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1927, and was the first president of the International Federation of Planned Parenthood. She later worked for birth control in India and Far Eastern countries, especially India and Japan. She wrote many books, such as What Every Mother Should Know and My Fight for Birth Control, as well as her own autobiography. The Encyclopedia Britannica says all this and it is clear that Margaret Sanger is proof of how some women, as human beings with weaknesses and errors, can also be fooled by perverse ideologies and advertisements.
