The Woman Rebel

In 1914, Margaret Sanger launched a monthly newsletter called “The Woman Rebel.” She published seven issues, five of which were seized from the mails. Sanger used the publication to inform women about birth control in articles such as “The Prevention of Contraception” and “Are Preventive Means Injurious?”
Sanger, birth control activist, sex educator, writer, and nurse, opened the first birth control clinic in the U.S. and other organizations that eventually became Planned Parenthood.
