Terrible virtue : a novel / Ellen Feldman.
In the spirit of "The Paris Wife" and "Loving Frank" comes the provocative and compelling story of one of the most fascinating and influential figures of the twentieth century: Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood - an indomitable woman who, more than any other, and at great personal cost, shaped the sexual landscape we inhabit today. Trained as a nurse, Margaret Sanger fought for social justice, channeling her energy to one singular cause: legalizing contraception. Sanger sacrificed two husbands, three children, and scores of lovers in her fight for sexual equality and freedom. This richly imagined portrait of a larger-than-life woman is at once sympathetic to her suffering and unsparing of her faults. Deeply insightful, this is Margaret Sanger's story as she herself might have told it.
