The Pivot of Civilization is a non-fiction book written by Margaret Sanger, a prominent American birth control activist and advocate for women's reproductive rights. The book was first published in 1922 and is considered a seminal work in the history of birth control and the women's rights movement.In this book, Sanger argues that overpopulation and the lack of access to birth control are the root causes of poverty, disease, and social inequality. She advocates for the widespread use of contraception as a means of improving the health and well-being of women and children, and as a way to promote social and economic progress.Sanger also discusses the importance of education and the need for women to have control over their own bodies and reproductive choices. She argues that women must be empowered to make their own decisions about their health and family planning, and that access to birth control is essential for achieving this goal.Throughout the book, Sanger draws on her own experiences as a nurse and birth control activist, as well as on scientific and statistical data, to make her case for the importance of birth control and women's reproductive rights. The Pivot of Civilization is a powerful and influential work that continues to shape discussions around reproductive rights and social justice today.This book aims to be neither the first word on the tangled problems of human society to-day, nor the last. My aim has been to emphasize, by the use of concrete and challenging examples and neglected facts, the need of a new approach to individual and social problems. Its central challenge is that civilization, in any true sense of the word, is based upon the control and guidance of the great natural instinct of Sex.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
