In our group last week, we talked about women in the Progressive Era. One of the biggest, and evidently one of the most problematic parts was the beginning of the fight for women’s reproductive rights. Margaret Sanger was one of the first pioneers of reproductive rights and an advocate for birth control. The fight for women’s right to choose is still just as comprehensive and controversial today as it was in the Progressive Era.

…but yet these rights are still being challenged today.
