As David Kennedy vividly demonstrates, the economic crisis of the 1930s was far more than a simple reaction to the alleged excesses of the 1920s. For more than a century before 1929, America's unbridled industrial revolution had gyrated through repeated boom and bust cycles, wastefully...

A history of the birth control movement in the United States must necessarily be in part a biography of the movement's leader - Margaret Sanger.
