Description

---

Frances Wright was a pioneer in the fight for women's reproductive rights in late-19th century America. She received little support at the time, but laid the foundation for those who followed.

Margaret Sanger championed the universal availability of contraception. Betty Friedan founded the National Organization for Women (NOW).

This book contains eleven biographies of women who fought for women's reproductive rights and their rights to education about sexuality. Each made a significant contribution to women's emancipation from repressive sexual attitudes and laws.
