I learned a lot about Margaret Sanger and her importance for women around the world - and all of this through a quick graphic novel! ( )

This was interesting, and funny at times, but I the illustrations didn't work for me and I sometimes couldn't tell if what was going on was alluding to something that I should already know or not. What if I came to the book not knowing anything about Sanger and her housekeeper? Would I have understood the unusualness there? The author assumes I would.

Biographies of women like Sanger are so important, but this one leaves too many spaces. ( )

I thought I was pretty familiar with Margaret Sanger, but I learned a ton from this. It's packed with biographical information and has citations at the end explaining the source material.

Great for anyone curious about the history of contraceptive use in America. ( )

Not a big fan of the artwork, but the story was engaging and informative, inspiring me to learn more about Margaret Sanger and the context she worked in.

Not a big hit with me despite the subject matter. I just couldn't reconcile the material with the art; the dissonance stayed with me throughout.
