Synopsis

Founded in 1928, the Maternal Health Association of Cleveland, Ohio offered birth control services to poor women. The Association played a representative role in national reform movements and demonstrates intersections between voluntarism, gender, and state action. This case study explores how volunteers and clients experienced the clinic, especially concentrating on the tactics chosen by the Association to advance their cause and the way they linked with social and reform networks in order to sustain the venture.
