The Pivot Of Civilization Hardback - 2010

The Pivot of Civilization is a non-fiction book written by Margaret Sanger, a prominent American birth control activist and women's rights advocate. Published in 1922, the book discusses the urgent need for birth control and the impact it could have on society. Sanger argues that overpopulation is the root cause of poverty, disease, and social unrest, and that birth control is the key to solving these problems. The book is divided into ten chapters, each tackling a different aspect of the issue. Sanger explores the history of birth control, its legal and moral implications, and the role of religion in shaping attitudes towards it. She also discusses the importance of sex education and the need for women to have control over their own bodies. Sanger's writing is passionate and persuasive, drawing on her own experiences as a nurse and activist. She makes a compelling case for the need for birth control and the benefits it could bring to society. The Pivot of Civilization is an important work in the history of women's rights and reproductive freedom, and remains relevant today.This book aims to be neither the first word on the tangled problems of human society to-day, nor the last. My aim has been to emphasize, by the use of concrete and challenging examples and neglected facts, the need of a new approach to individual and social problems. Its central challenge is that civilization, in any true sense of the word, is based upon the control and guidance of the great natural instinct of Sex.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
