Abstract

Jones notes that even birth control reformers such as Marie Stopes were "unable to distinguish between caps that could be used for uterus support and those for contraception" (p. 37). Keywords: Birth control; Technology; Commerce; Medicalization; British history; United States history EN Birth control Technology Commerce Medicalization British history United States history 337 340 4 07/11/23 20230701 NES 230701 With the collapse of abortion rights in the United States, the right to legal contraception may not be far behind. Continued research into the historical and sociological aspects of contraception is now more vital than ever to help us understand the legal and medical context of potential bans, and historians Claire L. Jones and Donna J. Drucker give us two excellent new books to consider. [Extracted from the article]
