Historical impacts/reflections of Contraception?

Question

Hey,

I have a history paper discussing primarily the "progress" of the 19th and 20th centuries and i'm focusing on the widespread use of contraception:

How did this reflect growing ideas/trends? like for instance, contraception may reflect growing feminism...

What was the impact of contraception on society etc.

If you guys could provide links to articles/references it would be greatly appreciated, I cant find much on my own.

Answer 1

Good topic to do a paper on. Here is a link to get some good information from:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraceptive

It gives a broad history, methods that have been used and tried, misconceptions, religous thoughts, etc.

I will also give you this link:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Birth_C...

This will be somewhat helpful, as this was one of the first clinics.

Good luck with the paper.
