Publisher's Synopsis

""Women and the New Race"" is a book written by Margaret Sanger, a prominent American birth control activist and founder of the American Birth Control League, which later became Planned Parenthood. The book, first published in 1920, explores the history of women's oppression and argues that the ability to control their own fertility is essential for women's liberation. Sanger advocates for the use of birth control methods and provides information on how to obtain and use them. She also discusses the eugenics movement and its impact on women, arguing that women should have the right to choose when and if they want to have children. ""Women and the New Race"" is a pioneering work in the field of reproductive rights and remains relevant today as debates about women's access to birth control and abortion continue.In every nation of militaristic tendencies we find the reactionaries demanding a higher and still higher birth rate. Their plea is, first, that great armies are needed to defend the country from its possible enemies; second, that a huge population is required to assure the country its proper place among the powers of the world. At bottom the two pleas are the same.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
