Margaret Sanger, 1883-1966

As a public health nurse, Margaret Sanger witnessed the disastrous effects of unlimited births on poor families. Her life’s mission was to legalise birth control. She was arrested numerous times for distributing information and lecturing about sex and contraceptives. When officials barred her from speaking in Boston’s public halls, Sanger taped her mouth shut to protest and dramatise their effort to silence her.
