Synopsis:
From thriving black market to big business, the commercialization of birth control in the United States.
In Devices and Desires, Andrea Tone breaks new ground by showing what it was really like to buy, produce, and use contraceptives during a century of profound social and technological change. A down-and-out sausage-casing worker by day who turned surplus animal intestines into a million-dollar condom enterprise at night; inventors who fashioned cervical caps out of watch springs; and a mother of six who kissed photographs of the inventor of the Pill -- these are just a few of the individuals who make up this riveting story.
Review:
"Thoroughly documented and often trenchant insights on how medicine combined with business to effect a moral revolution."
Kirkus, 04/01/2001
Review:"Once in a while you come across a book that is so original, so persuasive, so meticulously researched and documented that it overrides some of your most taken-for-granted assumptions and beliefs. DEVICES AND DESIRES is such a work."
Barbara Seaman, Nation, 06/11/2001
