The People Who Made the Pill: An In-Depth Look at the Characters Behind Oral Contraception Paperback - 2011 - 1st Edition
by David M. Hislop
From the rear cover
The Only book you will ever need to learn about The Pill and the people who
brought it to life. 2010 commemorated the 50th anniversary of the approval of
the oral contraceptive pill by the Food and Drug Administration. The history
and the development of the oral contraceptive pill are rich in
drama--cultural, financial, scientific, spiritual, and political. Dr. David
Hislop recounts it all here in this detailed account of the birth of the pill
and the fascinating roster of characters who contributed to it. Beginning
with the reforms of Margaret Sanger and the barriers of the Comstock laws,
this comprehensive book includes perspectives on the biologists, Gregory
Pincus and Min-Chueh Chang, the chemist Russell Marker, the philanthropist
Katharine McCormick, the journalist and politician, Ernest Gruening and
finally obstetrician and gynecologist John Rock. Considering the legal,
social, scientific and religious barriers that led to the eventual government
approval, The People Who Made the Pill is the definitive resource on this
critical component of our cultural fabric.
