[Rarebooks] FS: Margaret Sanger's MY FIGHT FOR BIRTH CONTROL with Long INSCRIPTION

[Charles Agvent]

SANGER, Margaret. MY FIGHT FOR BIRTH CONTROL. New York: Farrar & 
Rinehart, (1931). First Edition. Sanger's scarce account of her life 
from early childhood until 1931, when a victory in her fight for the 
legalization of birth control in the U.S. seemed near, despite the many 
obstacles. Illustrated with photographs. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by Sanger 
filling the front endpaper to the manager of the Mayflower Hotel in 
Washington, D. C.: "Wash D. C./Jan 18, 1934/To R. L. Pollio/With my 
appreciation/and gratitude/for courteous consideration/to the members/of 
the American/Conference on Birth/Control & National/Recovery/Margaret 
Sanger." Fading and rubbing to the cloth with light wear to the spine 
head. A Good copy, lacking the dustwrapper, with a Fine inscription.

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.
