A riveting history about the little-known rivalry between Margaret Sanger and Mary Ware Dennett that profoundly shaped reproductive rights in America
In the early days of the reproductive rights movement, two pioneering activists emerged: Margaret Sanger and Mary Dennett. Sanger would go on to found Planned Parenthood, while Dennett's name has largely faded from public awareness. Each held a radically different vision for what reproductive autonomy and birth control access should look like in America.
Few are aware of the fierce personal and political rivalry that played out between Sanger and Dennett over decadesa battle that had a profound impact on the lives of American women. Stephanie Gorton's meticulously researched and vividly drawn new history, The Icon and the Idealist, reveals how and why these two women came to activism, the origins of the clash between them, and the ways in which their missteps and breakthroughs have reverberated across American society for generations.
With deep archival scope and rigorous execution, The Icon and the Idealist weaves together a personal narrative of two fascinating women and the political history of a country arriving at one of the most necessary social inventions of the modern day. Refusing to shy away from the enmeshed struggles of race, class, and gender, Gorton has made a sweeping examination of every force that has come in the way of women's reproductive freedom.
Brimming with insight and compelling portraits of women's struggles throughout the twentieth century, The Icon and the Idealist is a comprehensive history of a radical cultural movement.
