The Sex Side of Life: Mary Ware Dennett's Pioneering Battle for Birth Control and Sex Education Book

The publication of Constance M. Chen's "The Sex Side of Life" rescued from obscurity the life and accomplishments of an extraordinary woman: Mary Ware Dennett, suffragette, peace activist, and crusader for the right to obtain and distribute information about contraception. In her battle to make birth control information accessible to all, Dennett tangled both with reluctant Congressmen and Margaret Sanger. At a time when family-planning information and Draconian communication laws are at the center of national debates, this biography is as timely and important as ever.
