The Pivot Of Civilization (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419177637)

The Pivot of Civilization is a non-fiction book written by Margaret Sanger, a prominent American birth control activist, in 1922. The book discusses the importance of birth control and its role in improving society. Sanger argues that overpopulation and the lack of access to birth control methods are major factors that contribute to poverty, disease, and social problems. She also discusses the negative effects of large families on women's health and the well-being of children. Sanger proposes the use of birth control as a way to improve the lives of women and children and reduce poverty and social inequality. The book is considered a landmark in the history of birth control and women's rights movements. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of reproductive rights and the role of women in society.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.
