Description: This listing is for an INCREDIBLY RARE autograph album page, approximately 2 1/2” x 4 1/2” in size. The page is dated August 4, 1924 and signed by Margaret Sanger, now deceased. Margaret Higgins Sanger (September 14, 1879 – September 6, 1966) was a birth control activist, sex educator, writer, and nurse. Sanger popularized the term "birth control", opened the first birth control clinic in the United States, and established organizations that evolved into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. In 1916, Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in the U.S., which led to her arrest for distributing information on contraception, after an undercover policewoman bought a copy of her pamphlet on family planning. In 1921, Sanger founded the American Birth Control League, which later became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. In New York City, she organized the first birth control clinic to be staffed by all-female doctors. In 1929, she formed the National Committee on Federal Legislation for Birth Control, which served as the focal point of her lobbying efforts to legalize contraception in the United States. From 1952 until 1959, Sanger served as president of the International Planned Parenthood Federation. Due to her founding of Planned Parenthood, Sanger is frequently criticized by opponents of abortion. Sanger drew a sharp distinction between birth control and abortion, and was opposed to abortions throughout the bulk of her professional career, declining to participate in them as a nurse. Sanger died in 1966. She remains an admired figure and is widely regarded as the founder of the modern birth control and reproductive rights movement. SANGER’S AUTOGRAPH IS INCREDIBLY RARE!
