Back to Previous Page The Margaret Sanger Papers Project Margaret Sanger's name is virtually synonymous with the development of birth control, a term she helped coin in 1914. Schooled in the pre-World War I activism of the radical labor left and mobilized by her work as a home nurse in the immigrant ghettos of New York, Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) became convinced that in liberating women from the tyranny of unwanted pregnancies, birth control would effect fundamental change. From the publication of The Woman Rebel in 1914 through her leadership of the International Planned Parenthood Federation in the 1950s Margaret Sanger dedicated herself to making birth control safe, effective, legal, and socially sanctioned. Birth control today remains a key component of social and economic change, and continues to be surrounded by controversies and debates at whose center lie the policies developed and publicized by Margaret Sanger. Sponsored by NYU's Department of History, the Margaret Sanger Papers Project is designed to identify, collect, assemble, and publish the over 140,000 Sanger papers in microfilm, book, and electronic versions. In 1995 the Project published its first microfilm series, The Margaret Sanger Papers: Smith College Collections Series (83 Reels), consisting of the 45,000 documents located at the Sophia Smith Collection and College Archives at Smith College. In 1996 the Project published over 9,000 additional documents gathered in an international search as the

MARGARET SANGER (1879-1966), in a UCLA Extension course, was profiled along with Darwin, Diego Rivera, and Ghandi as one of the "Four Who Shook the Twentieth Century." And indeed she did change the twentieth century by dedicating her life to supporting the rights of women and children, teaching and lecturing on birth control throughout the world and organizing the first world conference on population control. As a nurse working in New York City's Lower East Side, Sanger saw how the lives of both mothers and children were destroyed by large families: the health of the mother broken and the children remanded to poverty. Yet women were ignorant how to prevent conception, and federal law forbade contraceptive advice even by a medical doctorthis dictated by the narrow-minded Comstock federal laws, which classified the discussion of contraception as an "obscenity." For three decades, Sanger fought the Comstock laws with personal and political action, with lectures and press conferences, with newspaper and book publications, with international conferences that she personally organized, with extensive scientific research, and by establishing a birth control clinic that educated and cared for women. Sanger did not advocate abortion, but prevention. Her work led to what became the international Planned Parenthood organization and to development of the first birth control pill.

WIKER While Planned Parenthood has been very careful to keep its founder's sexual and especially eugenic views from the light, they are a matter of public record, boldly and clearly expressed throughout Sanger's writings. Margaret Sanger Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was one of the lead architects of the culture of death. Not only was she a major contributor to the liberation of sexuality from all restraint, but sexual liberation was for her part of a larger program of eugenics. While Planned Parenthood has been very careful to keep its founder's sexual and especially eugenic views from the light, they are a matter of public record, boldly and clearly expressed throughout Sanger's writings. Sanger's dedication to the propagation and legalization of birth control was part of an overall eugenics program. Her journal, The Birth Control Review , was filled from cover to cover with the strongest and crudest eugenic propaganda. One of her favorite slogans, adorning each issue, was "Birth Control: To Create a Race of Thoroughbreds." For Sanger, the "lack of balance between the birth rate of the 'unfit' and the 'fit,'" was "the greatest present menace to civilization," so that "the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective." As with the other eugenicists of the early 20th century, Sanger was particularly upset by the presence of the "feeble-minded," a vague term which seemed to encompass everyone from the insane and those with nervous disorders, to those hitting low marks on the newly developed IQ tests. (By her estimate, some 70% of the population was feebleminded.)

None other than the founder of Planned Parenthood, a woman who is frequently defended as a shining example of selfless sacrifice for the good of humanity. Certainly Margaret Sanger, who died in her 80s in 1966, knew what it meant to be poor. One of 11 children born to poverty-stricken Irish-immigrant parents in Corning, N.Y, she rose to affluence when she dropped out of nursing school after only three months to marry a wealthy architect. She eventually settled in New York's Greenwich Village. There Sanger became closely associated with leading figures in the eugenics movement, many of whom played a prominent role in the foundation of Planned Parenthood.

From the publication of the Woman Rebel in 1914 through her leadership of the International Planned Parenthood Federation in the 1950s, Sanger dedicated herself to making birth control safe, available, legal and respectable. Charismatic, passionate and daring, Sanger engendered intense debate and controversy throughout much of her life. Yet her efforts to educate women about the need for birth control and to provide them with the most up-to-date information and materials despite stringent legal, moral, and religious prohibitions on the dissemination of contraceptives, helped bring birth control out of the shadows and into the light of public debate and social policy. In the process, she produced a massive body of papersletters, diaries, journals, reports, articles, speechesa vibrant record of one of the most important women and most significant social movements of this century.

Now, once we observe that destruction is so useful to her that she absolutely cannot dispense with it ... from this moment onward the idea of annihilation which we attach to death ceases to be real ... what we call the end of the living animal is no longer a true finis, but a simple transformation, a transmutation of matter.

Opponent of established authority, war, and totalitarian government, Emma Goldman was the most famous rebel of her day. A passionate activist andcharismatic speaker, she committed her life to radical causes in Europe and America. Born in a Jewish ghetto in Lithuania, Goldman immigrated to the United States when she was sixteen. Reared in a Jewish tradition of prophecy and opposition to injustice, her early experience molded by Russian anti-Semitism and reading in Russian nihilist literature, Goldman was destined to become a critic of her newly adopted country, just as she was of the Old World she left behind. But it was the hanging in 1887 of four Chicago anarchists accused of murdering policemen in the Haymarket affair that led her to dedicate her life to political radicalism. A sewing machine operator in a corset factory, she concluded that she and other workers were exploited by factory owners. She was attracted to anarchism not only because it promised to replace capitalism with worker cooperatives but because anarchism espoused atheism, free speech, and freedom from sexual inhibition. Like many other anarchists of her day, Goldman also flirted with the idea of political violence. During the Homestead strike of 1892 she helped her lover, Alexander Berkman, plan the attempted assassination of steel mill owner Henry Clay Frick. A year later Goldman spent a year in prison for telling unemployed workers to steal bread if they had to. She was also implicated in President William McKinley's assassination.

Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) was the founder of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). As an activist in the birth-control and population-control movements, she was one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century. Many questions have been raised concerning her real views on eugenics, race, and human rights, and it is hard to separate the facts from fiction. The information presented here is drawn directly from her writings, with references.

Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood: The Eugenics Connection By Angela Franks P ro-lifers have frequently made the case that the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), the nation's largest abortion provider, has a tainted past, but it can be difficult to find the hard information to bolster these claims. Let's examine a little of PPFA's history and the current activities of this organization in order to arm ourselves for the fight against this force of the culture of death. In this article, we'll focus on its founder's fascination with eugenics and whether Margaret Sanger can be fairly labeled a racist Margaret Sanger and Eugenics Planned Parenthood dates its founding from 1916. To understand Planned Parenthood, one must understand the ideology of Margaret Sanger. While Planned Parenthood adamantly insists otherwise, it is clear that Sanger (1879-1966) was a eugenicist.

Historic Humanist Series Margaret Sanger April 1995 "I have always discovered indeed, I have always known that it is not enough just to know one great truth. Truth must be lived not merely passively accepted. Truth must be lived, even though your truth makes you a minority of one." Margaret Sanger was honored with the 1957 Humanist of the Year award by the AHA in recognition of her lifetime service to the cause of reproductive freedom and family planning. In 1916, she founded the Planned Parenthood Federation, the oldest and most respected of family planning organizations. Planned Parenthood serves more than three million clients annually and is a founder and the largest contributing member of International Family Planning. Sanger's great truth that every child should be a wanted child has become the bedrock of family- planning services the world over. Wayne Wilson

Beard The Pivot of Civilization in Historical Perspective by Margaret Sanger The Life of Toussaint L'Overture: The Negro Patriot of Hayti by John R. Beard There's perhaps nothing more foolish than believing that wisdom was born with us or, put another way, that those who went before us have nothing to teach. In fact, improvements in technology and a growing cultural sophistication have little to do with the wisdom it takes to organize our lives, discipline our thoughts, and set our goals in ways that will not only achieve success, but the sort of success that endures. Thinking otherwise does not mean we repeat the mistakes of the past. It means we will make mistakesoften painful and costly onesthat wiser ancestors would never have made. That's why this book is so important. It not only describes events that took place some two centuries ago, it gives them from the perspective of someone who died before anyone now living was born. It is a voice out of the past, and one that should be heard.
