Margaret Sanger: A Public Nuisance

Plot

Margaret Sanger's work as a nurse and midwife exposed her to the harsh realities of life in New York's Lower East Side, where the women were subjected to frequent pregnancies and miscarriages. She saw a desperate need for birth control, so that women could regain control of their lives. Her efforts were in violation of the Comstock laws, which forbade any kind of contraceptive information. Margaret Sanger: A Public Nuisance tells her story in a combination of dramatizations, skits, and other performances, accompanied by Sanger's words. ~ Alice Day, Rovi
