SANGER, Margaret. SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH. . A fine 8" x 10" formal 
black-and-white photograph of Sanger INSCRIBED and SIGNED by her to a 
close friend: "Merry Christmas/to/Leighton with/love/Margaret 
Sanger/1959." Margaret Sanger, the originator of the phrase "birth 
control" and its best-known advocate, sought to create equality between 
the sexes by freeing women from what she saw as sexual servitude. She 
survived Federal indictments, a brief jail term, numerous lawsuits, and 
hundreds of street-corner rallies and raids on her clinics to live to 
see much of the world accept her view that family planning is a basic 
human right. Signed photographs of this pioneer are quite scarce. Fine.

Leighton Rollins was an old friend of Sanger's.    Sanger's last 
outgoing letter was to Rollins in July 1963. After her death in 1966, a 
week shy of her 87th birthday, Rollins co-wrote an unpublished play 
about Sanger. (#016111)        $1,000.00
