Title A name given to the resource Reform (Social or Labor) Description An account of the resource The reform collection highlights those women who dared to influence labor changes to expand worker control over their conditions or who dared to reform society in a positive manner. In the United States, women have historically been major contributors to the great reform movements. Although their work is not given as much credit as those of their male counterparts, it was women who did much of the grassroots campaigning for universal suffrage, abolition of slavery, labor legislation, prison reform, social welfare programs, asylum reform, religious freedom, peace programs, and universal education. This collection then highlights the work of some of those activists and encourages us to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1879 Birthplace Corning, New York, USA Death Date 1966 Occupation Nurse, sex educator Biographical Text Sanger was a birth control advocate, sex educator, and nurse. After witnessing high childbirth mortality rates among the working classes and seeing the economic burden that large families placed on the lower-economic classes, she openly advocated that birth control information should be legal. She opened the first birth control clinic in the US , after which she was arrested for distributing contraceptives. Sanger argued that knowledge of birth control would lead to greater social equality. She founded the American Birth Control League, which later became Planned Parenthood.
