The Pivot Of Civilization

The Pivot of Civilization is a book written by Margaret Sanger, an American birth control activist, in 1922. The book discusses the importance of birth control and family planning in improving the quality of life for individuals and society as a whole. Sanger argues that the overpopulation of the world was leading to poverty, disease, and social unrest, and that controlling the number of children a family has would help alleviate these problems. She also discusses the need for education and access to birth control methods for women, as well as the importance of eugenics in ensuring that only the ""fit"" members of society reproduce. The book was controversial at the time of its publication, but it had a significant impact on the birth control movement and helped to pave the way for the legalization of contraception in the United States.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.
