As I read the book I was continuously wondering how it was going to end.
Interesting book to read - especially as I have just read a brief bio of Margaret Sanger. The book puts a very human face on women's health issues and their right to control their own bodies and hence lives. Extremely frustrating to know that we still have to defend these rights nearly 150 years later
