Of note is the short review of Margaret Sanger's book Woman And The New Race on page 594. The review states the book "summarizes the arguments for, and disposes of the arguments against, birth control in a sane a logical manner." While Sanger is still considered an early leader in the reproductive rights movement, Planned Parenthood and other women's health organizations have tried to distance themselves recently from her legacy due to her belief in eugenics.
