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.
