Title: Margaret Sanger. An Autobiography
Description: New York, W. W. Norton & Company, (1938). First Edition. Hardcover. Illustrated with a frontispiece photograph. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by Sanger on the front endpaper: "Greetings & regards/to/Sidney Hillman/from/Margaret Sanger." Sidney Hillman was an American labor leader, head of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America and co-founder of the American Labor Party in 1936. He was a key figure in the founding of the Congress of Industrial Organizations and in marshaling labor's support for Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Near Fine, lacking the dustwrapper Margaret Sanger, the originator of the phrase "birth control" and its best-known advocate, sought to create equality between the sexes by freeing women from what she saw as sexual servitude. She survived Federal indictments, a brief jail term, numerous lawsuits, and hundreds of street-corner rallies and raids on her clinics to live to see much of the world accept her view that family planning is a basic human right.
