The history \u003cbr\u003e and the development of the oral contraceptive pill are rich in \u003cbr\u003e drama—cultural, financial, scientific, spiritual, and political. Dr. David \u003cbr\u003e Hislop recounts it all here in this detailed account of the birth of the pill \u003cbr\u003e and the fascinating roster of characters who contributed to it. Beginning \u003cbr\u003e with the reforms of Margaret Sanger and the barriers of the Comstock laws, \u003cbr\u003e this comprehensive book includes perspectives on the biologists, Gregory \u003cbr\u003e Pincus and Min-Chueh Chang, the chemist Russell Marker, the philanthropist \u003cbr\u003e Katharine McCormick, the journalist and politician, Ernest Gruening and \u003cbr\u003e finally obstetrician and gynecologist John Rock. Considering the legal, \u003cbr\u003e social, scientific and religious barriers that led to the eventual government \u003cbr\u003e approval, The People Who Made the Pill is the definitive resource on this \u003cbr\u003e critical component of our cultural fabric.","brand":"Advantage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48326315933951,"sku":"9781599322872","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781599322872_s600x595.jpg?v=1778166563","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781599322872","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
