The birth of a pill. Aig J.

By the beginning of the 1950s, family life in the United States seemed strong and harmonious: the wives in the stharged apron dedicated the day to raise children and housekeeping, and in the evenings they met husbands with a glass of Martini. And behind the scenes of this idyll, women, including large mothers, wrote desperate letters of an active feminist, founder of the American league control over the birth rate of Margaret Signer. She was their last hope to get a simple and reliable means of contraception. And Signer became a motor, the heart of a group of four, inspiring them to search for a miracle tablet. These people were Margaret Signer herself, the eccentric scientist Gregory Pinkus, the deeply religious Catholic, the doctor John Rock and the purposeful heiress of millions, the leader of the woman’s rights, Katherine McTormik, expelled from Harvard. “The Birth of a pill” is an incredible story about the most radical social breakthrough of the 20th century, perfect thanks to courage, non -traditional thinking and faith in its business. The opening that proclaimed the sex revolution changed the life of the whole society and gave millions of women new opportunities and freedom.
