This is Margaret Higgins Sanger's 1922 work, "The Pivot of Civilization". Margaret Higgins Sanger (1879 - 1966) was an American sex educator, activist, nurse, and writer. She is responsible for popularising the term "birth control", as well as opening the first birth control clinic in America. She also established the organization that would one day become the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Contents include: "A New Truth Emerges", "Conscripted Motherhood", "'Children Troop Down From Heaven....'", "The Fertility of the Feeble-Minded", "The Cruelty of Charity", "Neglected Factors of the World Problem", "Is Revolution the Remedy?", "Dangers of Cradle Competition", "A Moral Necessity", "Science the Ally", "Education and Expression", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
