دانلود کتاب The Icon and the Idealist 2024

The Icon and the Idealist by Stephanie Gorton is a compelling dual biography that delves into the lives and rivalry of two pivotal figures in the birth control movement, Margaret Sanger and Mary Ware Dennett. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the book explores their contrasting approaches to activism and the personal and political conflicts that shaped their efforts to make contraception accessible.

Sanger, known for her radical tactics, and Dennett, who favored a more legalistic approach, both played crucial roles in advancing women’s reproductive rights. Gorton’s meticulous research and vivid storytelling highlight the complexities of their relationship and the enduring impact of their work on modern feminism and reproductive health debates¹.
