Inventor of Magic Pill

​‪@MightyHeroes‬
In the early 20th century, at a time when matters surrounding family planning or women's healthcare were not spoken in public, Margaret Sanger founded the birth control movement and became an outspoken and life-long advocate for women's reproductive rights.
She not only invented the magic pill but also opened the first birth control center in the world.
Margaret Sanger obstetrical nursing on the Lower East Side of New York City, where she witnessed the relationships between poverty, uncontrolled fertility, high rates of infant and maternal mortality, and deaths from botched illegal abortions. Those observations made Sanger a feminist who believed in every woman’s right to avoid unwanted pregnancies. In 1916 Margaret Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in the U.S., in Brooklyn. She was arrested and charged with maintaining a “public nuisance,” and in 1917 she served 30 days in the Queens penitentiary. Sanger’s legal appeals prompted the federal courts to reinterpret the Comstock Act, permitting physicians to import and prescribe contraceptives.
