The Birth of the Pill revolves around four principal characters. Fiery feminist Margaret Sanger, was a champion of birth control in her campaign for the rights of women, but neglected her own children in pursuit of free love. The beautiful Katharine McCormick owed her fortune to her wealthy husband, the son of the founder of International Harvester and a schizophrenic. The visionary scientist Gregory Pincus, was dismissed by Harvard in the 1930s as a result of his experimentation with in vitro fertilization but, after he was approached by Sanger and McCormick, grew obsessed with the idea of inventing a drug that could stop ovulation. The telegenic John Rock was a Catholic doctor from Boston who battled his own church to become an enormously effective advocate in the effort to win public approval for the drug that would be marketed by Searle as Enovid. Spanning the years from Sanger's heady Greenwich Village days in the early twentieth century to trial tests in Puerto Rico in the 1950s to the cusp of the sexual revolution in the 1960s, this is a grand story of radical feminist politics, scientific ingenuity, establishment opposition, and, ultimately, a sea change in social attitudes. 546 $a Text in English. 600 10 $a McCormick, Katharine Dexter, $d 1875-1967. 600 10 $a Pincus, Gregory, $d 1903-1967. 600 10 $a Rock, John, $d 1890-1984. 600 10 $a Sanger, Margaret, $d 1879-1966. 650 0 $a Oral contraceptives $x History. 600 14 $a McCormick, Katherine Dexter, $d 1876-1967. 600 14 $a Pincus, Gregory, $d 1903-1967. 600 14 $a Rock, John, $d 1890-1984. 600 14 $a Sanger, Margaret, $d 1879-1966. 650 7 $a 44.01 history of medicine. $0 (NL-LeOCL)07759620X $2 bcl 600 17 $a McCormick, Katharine Dexter, $d 1875-1967 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00432218 600 17 $a Pincus, Gregory, $d 1903-1967 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00260627 600 17 $a Rock, John, $d 1890-1984 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01844401 600 17 $a Sanger, Margaret, $d 1879-1966 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00006408 650 7 $a Oral contraceptives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01047033 600 17 $a McCormick, Katherine Dexter, $d 1876-1967. $0 (NL-LeOCL)392069156 $2 nta 600 17 $a Pincus, Gregory , $d 1903-1967. $0 (NL-LeOCL)072346159 $2 nta 600 17 $a Rock, John, $d 1890-1984. $0 (NL-LeOCL)070912750 $2 nta 600 17 $a Sanger, Margaret, $d 1879-1966. $0 (NL-LeOCL)071878351 $2 nta 650 7 $a P-piller $x historia. $2 sao 600 12 $a McCormick, Katharine Dexter, $d 1875-1967. 600 12 $a Pincus, Gregory, $d 1903-1967. 600 12 $a Rock, John, $d 1890-1984. 600 12 $a Sanger, Margaret, $d 1879-1966. 650 12 $a Contraception $x history. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D003267Q000266 650 22 $a Contraceptives, Oral $x history. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D003276Q000266 650 22 $a History, 20th Century. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D049673 651 2 $a United States. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014481 655 4 $a Narrative non-fiction. 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210601105226.0 $n 3 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2687F2F6AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
