Stain on lower text block edge which does not affect interior. Reforming Sex reconstructs the complicated history of a movement that has been romanticized as the harbinger of 1960s sexual radicalism and deionized as a precursor to Nazi racial policy, but mostly buried and obscured by Nazi book burnings and repression. Relying on a broad range of sources-from police reports, films and personal interviews to sex manuals unearthed from library basements and secondhand bookstores. The book analyzes a remarkable mass mobilization during the turbulent and innovative Weimar years of doctors and laypeople for women's right to abortion and public access to birth control and sex education.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Dominique Nobokov (Author photograph) (illustrator). Second printing [stated]. 639, [1] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Selected Bibliography. Index. Author inscription on fep reads: "To Jim Frederman- A man of valor carrying on a grand fight! With Thanks+Best wishes-Ellen Chesler 9-25-92". A biography of the woman who fought for birth control in America describes her childhood, her private life, her relationships with Emma Goldman and John Reed, and her public role. Ellen Chesler is a distinguished lecturer and director of the Eleanor Roosevelt Initiative on Women and Public Life at Roosevelt House, the public policy center of Hunter College of the City University of New York. Ellen Chesler is a senior fellow at The Open Society Institute. From 1997 through 2004, she directed the foundation's $35 million program in reproductive health and rights and now advises on a range of other grant making and policy development concerns. She is the author of the highly-regarded Woman of Valor: Margaret Sanger and the Birth Control Movement in America, for which she was awarded PEN's 1993 Martha Albrand citation for the year's best first work of non-fiction, and she is co-editor of Where Human Rights Begin: Health, Sexuality and Women in the New Millennium. From 1997 to 2003, she chaired the board of the International Women's Health Coalition. She now chairs the Advisory Committee of the Women's Rights Division of Human Rights Watch, and also serves on the board of the Planned Parenthood Foundation. An honors graduate of Vassar College, Chesler earned her master's and doctoral degrees in history at Columbia University. This illuminating biography of Margaret Sangerâ"the woman who fought for birth control in Americaâ"describes her childhood, her private life, her relationships with Emma Goldman and John Reed, her public role, and more. Margaret Sanger went to jail in 1917 for distributing contraceptives to immigrant women in a makeshift clinic in Brooklyn. She died a half-century later, just after the Supreme Court guaranteed constitutional protection for the use of contraceptives. Now, Ellen Chesler provides an authoritative and widely acclaimed biography of this great emancipator, whose lifelong struggle helped women gain control over their own bodies. An idealist who mastered practical politics, Sanger seized on contraception as the key to redistributing power to women in the bedroom, the home, and the community. For fifty years, she battled formidable opponents ranging from the US Government to the Catholic Church. Her crusade was both passionate and paradoxical. She was an advocate of female solidarity who often preferred the company of men; an adoring mother who abandoned her children; a socialist who became a registered Republican; a sexual adventurer who remained an incurable romantic. Her comrades-in-arms included Emma Goldman and John Reed; her lovers, Havelock Ellis and H. G. Wells. Drawing on new information from archives and interviews, Chesler illuminates Sanger's turbulent personal story as well as the history of the birth control movement. An intimate biography of a visionary rebel, Woman of Valor is also an epic story that extends from the radical movements of pre-World War I to the family planning initiatives of the Great Society. At a time when women's reproductive and sexual autonomy is once again under attack, this landmark biography is indispensable reading for the generations in debt to Sanger for the freedoms they take for granted.
