Will I love The Icon and the Idealist?

As I read this book, I realized the more things change, the more they stay the same, particularly when it comes to the battle for reproductive rights. The two women chronicled here were “rivals,” and they were direct opposites when it came to upbringing, personality, and strategic views. But they both were dedicated to making birth control legal in this country – it’s hard to believe that providing it was once a crime – and both fought hard and sacrificed much to achieve that goal. The author shows clearly how history repeats itself: the battles these two women fought mirror… show more.
