This Question of Birth Control.
One Of Sanger’s Copies
[Sanger, Margaret]. Bromley, Dorothy Dunbar. This Question of Birth Control. New York: National Committee on Federal Legislation for Birth Control, (1929).
8vo.; 14 ; white wrappers, stapled.
An uncommon offprint from Harper’s Magazine. With Sanger’s ownership stamp on the cover. In her thesis, This Question of Birth Control, originally published in Harper’s Magazine and later distributed as a pamphlet by the National Committee on Federal Legislation for Birth Control, Bromley advocated the legalization of the dissemination of birth control in America by arguing that “[the] medical profession has been curiously apathetic in its attitude toward the problem…[fearing] that they would be labeled as ‘sex-minded’ and classified professional abortionists” (p. 11). Although Bromley was in complete support of the legalization of birth control, she was wholly against abortive practices. In this work Bromley gives befitting credit to Margaret Sanger, whose perseverance was critical to the establishment of the first birth control clinic in America.
