Scope and Content Note The papers of Margaret Higgins Sanger (1879-1966) cover the period 1900-1966, although the major part of the collection is concentrated in the years 1928-1940. Consisting of diaries, correspondence, articles, speeches, lectures, clippings, scrapbooks, and printed matter, the collection is chiefly concerned with Sanger's professional life and activities in the birth control organizations which she founded. Material in the Diaries and Personal Correspondence, nevertheless, provides insight into the private life of Margaret Sanger. Fragmentary diary entries, which are mainly confined to the period 1914-1917, are important for their reflections on her European visit of 1914-1915, when she met Havelock Ellis and J. Rutgers, who were to make lasting impressions on her career. Also of interest is a short description of prison life, written during her incarceration at Queens County, New York, penitentiary in 1917. Of particular interest is the correspondence with Havelock Ellis, which throws light on their relationship as well as on Ellis' enigmatic personality. In addition, correspondence with Ellis' disciple, Hugh De Sélincourt, and with Françoise Roussel Delisle (Françoise Lafitte-Cyon) reveals the activities and philosophy of the Wantley and Sand-Pit aesthetes and Margaret Sanger's involvement with them. Although in the early years of their marriage the Sangers led a rather conventional existence, they eventually became involved with socialist politics and liberal reform groups. This is reflected in exchanges with Eugene V. Debs, Emma Goldman, John Reed, and Upton Sinclair, in the General Correspondence series. Other correspondents represented are John Dewey, Theodore Dreiser, James Waldo Fawcett, John Galsworthy, Clarence James Gamble, Lillian Hellman, Helen Keller, S. Adolphus Knopf, Mabel Dodge Luhan, Kitty Marion, H. L. Mencken, Westbrook Pegler, J. Rutgers, Marie Charlotte Carmichael Stopes, and H. G. Wells. Letters addressed to Margaret Sanger on a personal basis from various birth control groups are also included in Papers of Margaret Sanger 4 this series. Anonymous letters of support written to Sanger by fellow prison inmates in 1917 can be found in a folder of unidentified correspondence. Most of the material in the collection centers on the professional career of Margaret Sanger as reflected in the Professional File, which includes the records of various birth control organizations in which she was active. This series is divided into seven subseries, the first of which, the Foreign File, was originally a separate file maintained by the American Birth Control League and pertains primarily to the decade 1929-1939. Included is material relating to the early history of the neo-Malthusian movement as well as to conferences held abroad, such as the World Population Conference of 1927. Correspondence with individuals significant in the international birth control movement, including C. V. Drysdale, Edith How-Martyn, Julian Huxley, Shizue Kato (also known as Shidzué Ishimoto,) George Bernard Shaw, Marie Charlotte Carmichael Stopes, Rabindranath Tagore, and H. G. Wells, can be found in the files for their respective countries. The remaining six subseries contain records of organizations with which Margaret Sanger was associated and are arranged by the founding date of the organization. Since she was involved simultaneously with various organizations, some subjects overlap from one file to another. In such cases, the material is in the files of the organization which had final possession. Because of the corporate nature of these records, an effort was made to retain their original arrangement. The files of the American Birth Control League, 1921-1939, the primary organization supporting and advancing birth control in the 1920's, reflect a fragmentary view of the league's transactions. The largest part of the file consists of general correspondence and covers mainly the years 1932-1936. The league's files also contain routine

  • A Woman Rebel in Hastings: the Life of Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) by Riley Wentzler & Felicia Barber
    A Woman Rebel In Hastings: The Life of Margaret Sanger (1879-1966) By Riley Wentzler & Felicia Barber Margaret Sanger was born in Corning, New York, on September 14, 1879 (MICROSOFT ENCARTA, 1993-2003 Microsoft Corporation) After graduating from Claverack College (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Margaret-Sanger), she trained as a nurse at White Plains Hospital (MICROSOFT ENCARTA 1993- 2003 Microsoft Corporation). From 1900-1912 she was a practicing nurse (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Margaret-Sanger). She lived in Greenburgh’s Village of Hastings from 1902-1910 (https://www.womenshistory.org/education-resources/biographies/margaret- sanger). From 1910 until her death she lived in New York City. Her work as a nurse in low income communities in New York convinced her of the need for women to have information about, and easy access to, birth control. In 1912 she began her life- long career as a reproductive rights educator and birth control activist. She first began providing written information about birth control in her 1914 magazine, The Woman Rebel. This was a highly risky decision because ever since 1873, a federal law known as The Comstock Act had existed which prohibited distribution of “obscene, lewd or lascivious,” “immoral,” or “indecent” publications through the mail (https://www.mtsu.edu/first- amendment/article/1038/comstock-act-of-1873). Part of what the act defined as obscene material was “any device, medicine, or information designed to prevent conception or induce abortion.” She was charged under this law, but, the charges were dropped two years later (MICROSOFT ENCARTA, 1993-2003 Microsoft Corporation). Shortly after these charges were dropped, she opened the first birth control clinic in the United States; this first clinic was located in Brooklyn.

Some home­ sick exiles landed on the barren coast of New England, where a namesake city was born. Taunton, Mass., has a nobler history. In 1776 it was the first place in the country where a revolutionary flag was Bown, "The red flag of Taunton that flies o'er the green," as recorded by a local poet. A century later, in 1881, in this city a child was born to a poor Irish immigrant family named Foster, who were exiles from their impoverished and enslaved homeland to New England.

  • Parades, Pickets, and Prison: Alice Paul and the Virtues of Unruly Constitutional Citizenship
    PARADES, PICKETS, AND PRISON: ALICE PAUL AND THE VIRTUES OF UNRULY CONSTITUTIONAL CITIZENSHIP Lynda G. Dodd* INTRODUCTION: MODELS OF CONSTITUTIONAL CITIZENSHIP For all the recent interest in “popular constitutionalism,” constitutional theorists have devoted surprisingly little attention to the habits and virtues of citizenship that constitutional democracies must cultivate, if they are to flourish.1 In my previous work, I have urged scholars of constitutional politics to look beyond judicial review and other more traditional checks and balances intended to prevent governmental misconduct, in order to examine the role of “citizen plaintiffs”2 – individuals who, typically at great personal cost in a legal culture where the odds are stacked against them, attempt to enforce their rights in * 1 For some exceptions, see Walter F. Murphy, CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY: CREATING AND MAINTAINING A JUST POLITICAL ORDER (2007); JAMES E. FLEMING, SECURING CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY: THE CASE FOR AUTONOMY (2006); Wayne D. Moore, Constitutional Citizenship in CONSTITUTIONAL POLITICS: ESSAYS ON CONSTITUTIONAL MAKING, MAINTENANCE, AND CHANGE (Sotirios A. Barber and Robert P. George, eds. 2001); Paul Brest, Constitutional Citizenship, 34 CLEV. ST. L. REV. 175 (1986). 2 Under this model of citizenship, the citizen plaintiff is participating in the process of constitutional checks and balances. That participation can be described in terms of “enforcing” constitutional norms or “protesting” the government’s departure from them. The phrase “private attorneys general” is the traditional term used to describe citizen plaintiffs. See, e.g., David Luban, Taking Out the Adversary: The Assault on Progressive Public Interest Lawyers, 91 CAL. L. REV. 209 (2003); Pamela Karlan, Disarming the Private Attorney General, 2003 U.
