[1] In 1916, feminist activist Emma Goldman was arrested in New York City just before giving a lecture on family planning. One year earlier, birth control advocate Margaret Sanger had been charged with violating the law. Goldman and Sanger are just two of the eight women profiled in Sohn’s book. Others include nurses and health practitioners, spiritualists and women in the so-called free love movement. The Comstock Act lasted until 1965 when the Supreme Court ruled it violated the right to marital privacy. “It was in Griswold v. Connecticut that married women could finally have the right to receive contraception from their doctors,” Sohn says. As for single women? They didn’t get the same rights until the 1972 Eisenstadt v. Baird ruling — 99 years after the passage of the Comstock Act. The Man Who Hated Women, author Amy Sohn

“I do not have much to recommend as I am still early in this project, but perhaps this will be of use for those of us in the classroom, always searching for easily accessible primary sources authored
by women: https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/57/at-the-dry-tortugas-during-the-war/
Brief biography of the author (from the website): “Emily Holder led a very singular life in one of the most out-of-the-way places imaginable in the 1860s: Fort Jefferson, a military fort in the Dry Tortugas. She lived with her husband, Joseph Bassett Holder (1824-1888), a surgeon and prominent member of Fort Jefferson’s garrison. She had broad access to many areas of the fort, and she recorded her perspective of life at the fort in her journals. In January 1892, her writings were published in a series of installments in The Californian Illustrated.”
