EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CARTOON: BIRTH CONTROL" takes us back to the year 1918, a time when birth control was still considered a controversial topic. Drawn by Lou Rogers for Margaret Sanger's Birth Control Review, this cartoon serves as an allegory for the early feminist movement in America. The image features Uncle Sam, a symbol of American patriotism and political action, wearing glasses labeled "sexism". He is seen holding up a sign that reads "Birth Control" representing the fight against societal restrictions on reproductive rights. The artist cleverly uses symbolism to depict how sexism clouds one's vision and hinders progress. In this thought-provoking artwork, Rogers skillfully captures the essence of activism during that era. By highlighting the importance of birth control through visual storytelling, she challenges traditional norms and advocates for women's autonomy over their bodies. This historical artifact reminds us of Margaret Sanger's significant contributions to women's rights and her relentless pursuit of reproductive freedom. It serves as a reminder that even in times when discussing such topics was taboo, there were brave individuals like Sanger who fought tirelessly for change. As we reflect upon this powerful image from our past, it prompts us to continue advocating for gender equality and ensuring that every individual has access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare without judgment or discrimination.
