Produktbeschreibung

Before closing this series of pamphlets on the practical methods of Birth Control, I feel in justice to the many readers and subscribers of the Woman Rebel who inquired about the theories of Magnetation, Male Continence, Sedular Absorption, Karezza, and Zugassent's Discovery, that this series would not be complete without giving at least a general idea of these theories and their practice. It is interesting to note that the magnetation theory had its best and longest practice, as well as its beginning, in America, under the title Male Continence. This method was practised for over forty years by a group averaging 130 men and 150 women known as the Oneida Community. They occupied a part of the old reservation of the Oneida Indians in New York State, and lived in a harmonious and prosperous form of Communistic society. John Humphrey Noyes was the head and founder of the group. Through personal experience and prolonged study, he discovered the theory of male continence. Since that time many others have come forward with the same theory under various names. Almost without exception, each advocate has injected some kind of religion into it. The Oneida Community was particularly a religious sect, and Alice B. Stockham, the author of Karezza, was a fervent religionist. However, aside from this, there are fundamental truths in the theory which bear thinking about and should not be discarded without some consideration. In view of the thousands of testimonials of the healthful results of the practice of these theories, I present these methods like that of the others, and for convenience shall classify them all under one head, "Magnetation." There are thousands of men and women who object to the practical and mechanical means of Birth Control, who feel that the pessary, condom, and douche are gross and sordid, and take away the artistic and spiritual beauty of the act. It is those whom the magnetation method will interest most. There are others who will claim that this method is "not satisfying," and can find no enjoyment in its practice. But so are there thousands of men and women who can pass a beautiful painting and receive no inspiration from it, or listen to a charming selection on a musical instrument and receive no emotion from it. So are there many whose natures are not so constructed that they can enjoy or benefit by this method. There is no doubt that the successful attainment of this method is dependable upon a fine spiritual bond between the two who enjoy its practice.

Autorenporträt

Margaret Higgins Sanger, later known as Margaret Sanger, was an influential American birth control activist, sex educator, writer, and nurse, born on September 14, 1879, in Corning, New York. She was the daughter of Michael Hennessy Higgins and Anne Purcell Higgins. Sanger's early life was shaped by the death of her mother, which fueled her dedication to improving women's health and reproductive rights. She attended Claverack College and later pursued a career as a nurse, where she became increasingly aware of the challenges women faced due to lack of access to birth control. Her advocacy for reproductive rights led her to found what would eventually become Planned Parenthood, a key organization in the movement for women's health and family planning. Sanger's work and writings, including her landmark book Woman and the New Race, promoted birth control as a means of empowering women, improving public health, and advancing social reform. She had three children: Peggy Sanger, Stuart Sanger, and Grant Sanger. Sanger passed away on September 6, 1966, in Tucson, Arizona, leaving behind a profound legacy in the fight for women's autonomy over their bodies and reproductive choices.
