the pill's golden anniversary
interesting the predictions made about the pill’s effects on the public at large, but the meatiest part of the story i found here…
Sanger and McCormick anticipated how the pill would be a tool for women’s emancipation. And, indeed, the minute the F.D.A. announced it would be approved, millions of women rushed to their doctors for prescriptions. They would use the pill to gain control of not only their fertility, but also their lives. They could decide whether to have children, and when. They could take advantage of new opportunities for education, work and participation in public life that opened up in the years following the pill’s approval.
personally, i’ve been on the pill only a few times in my life…the hormones turn me into a bat-shit crazy lunatic with rage issues….this happen to anyone else? BUT! let’s not take for granted, whatever form we choose, of being in control of our own fertility.
