Margaret Sanger: “Sexual Impulse-Part II”

( 1912 ) Commentary by Esther Katz and Cathy Moran Hajo, Margaret Sanger Papers Project--New York University
  • “Society, too, condemns the natural expression of Woman's emotion, save under certain prescribed conditions. In consequence of this, women suppress their maternal desires and today direct this great force into other channels, participating in the bigger and broader movements and activities in which they are active today.” - “Sexual Impulse—Part II”
  • “When women gain their economic freedom they will cease being playthings and utilities for men, but will assert themselves and choose the father of their offspring.” - “Sexual Impulse—Part II”
