It is becoming increasingly important for women to fight for their access to birth control and abortions. This book will remind you why it's so important and how birth control and a womans right to choose came about. Highly recommend.

Funny, challenging, and beautiful. Jones does a masterful job of presenting Sanger's motivations and evolutions throughout her life. Jones shares her own growth as an activist alongside Sanger's story which is emotionally effective, although confusing at times. Definitely worth the read!

It was so obviously biased at times that I couldn't stop cringing. Also wasn't a fan of the random sections about the author's life because it felt unnecessary and out of place in this biography.

I didn’t know anything about Sanger before reading this, so I found it very interesting.

An illustrated, introductory look at the woman who fought radically for women's rights nearly a hundred years ago and founded the organization that became Planned Parenthood. Sanger was a true revolutionary, agitating societal moralists and defiantly breaking laws she found unjust for the sake of educating and protecting women. Birth control and abortion remain essential to women's autonomy. As ever, but especially now, we need to defend these rights.

I was not a fan of the art whatsoever and felt it was a little all over the place. FYI, I am an art snob and usually when faced with an art style that I dislike I cannot focus on, or appreciate the story. This might have been the case with Jones' graphic novel, but honestly I think even the retelling of Margaret Sanger's life was a little all over the place, as well. However, I'm glad that this graphic novel introduced me to the incredible person that is Margaret Sanger.
