“Woman, by virtue of motherhood is the regulator of the birthrate, the sacred disposer of human production.” Women had a hard time through centuries. They have been seen in the role of housewives, whose place is at home and whose duties were taking care of children, cleaning the house, working in the kitchen, pleasing their husbands, etc. but most of all, women were seen as “sacred disposer of human production”. Their opinion towards brining babies to this world was never heard. They only needed to give birth and not talk about the conditions of raising children. This book presents a study on birth control. It shows how the control of population size will give women freedom from forced motherhood and will elevate the society. The author, Margaret Sander, advocates the use of contraceptive methods as a means of preventing overpopulation. It also discusses Dr. Thomas Robert Malthus's proposal of celibacy until middle age as a method for avoiding overpopulation. This book is about the woman’s right to have control over her body and the right to decide whether or not she will give birth and when is the proper time for that. |
