<영어로 읽는 고전_ 산아제한 사례>
마가렛 히긴스 생어(Margaret Higgins Sanger, 1879-1966)는 미국의 산아제한 운동가, 성교육자, 작가, 간호사였다. 그녀는 '피임'이라는 용어를 대중화하고 미국 최초의 산아제한 클리닉을 열었고 미국 가족계획연맹(Planned Parenthood Federation of America)으로 발전한 조직을 설립하기도 했다. 그녀는 주로 자신의 사고 방식을 홍보하기 위해 글과 연설을 사용했으며, 그녀의 팜플렛 Family LImitation(1914)의 출판으로 그녀는 기소되기도 하였고, 1916년 피임에 관한 정보를 배포한 혐의로 체포되었을 때 그녀의 후속 재판과 항소는 논란을 불러일으켰다. 생어는 1920년대에 여러 권의 책을 저술했는데 이 책은 산아제한의 명분을 홍보하는 데 전국적인 영향을 미쳤다. 1920~26년 사이에 《여성과 새로운 인종》(1920)과 《문명의 중심》(1922)이 567,000부가 판매되었다.


Margaret Higgins Sanger (1879-1966) was an American birth control activist, sex educator, author, and nurse. She popularized the term "contraception," opened America's first birth control clinic, and founded an organization that developed into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. She used her writings and speeches primarily to promote her way of thinking, and the publication of her pamphlet Family LImitation (1914) led to her being prosecuted, and in 1916 when she was arrested for distributing information about contraception, she 's subsequent trial and appeal generated controversy. Sanger wrote several books in the 1920s that had a national impact in promoting the cause of birth control. Between 1920 and 1926, Women and the New Race (1920) and Center of Civilization (1922) sold 567,000 copies.
