Publisher Synopsis
'MacNamara engages meaningfully with scholarship about birth control and demography outside of the United States, and animates this intellectual history with people, stories, and places that we don't normally associate with the history of ideas or with the history of birth control.' Karissa Haugeberg, Tulane University, New Orleans 'MacNamara has tackled a difficult topic - unpacking public opinion on a topic that wasn't much discussed in public, and he has skillfully found evidence in a wide variety of sources.'
