Terrible virtue : a novel

Summary: In the spirit of "The Paris Wife" and "Loving Frank" comes the provocative and compelling story of one of the most fascinating and influential figures of the twentieth century: Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood - an indomitable woman who, more than any other, and at great personal cost, shaped the sexual landscape we inhabit today. Trained as a nurse, Margaret Sanger fought for social justice, channeling her energy to one singular cause: legalizing contraception. Sanger sacrificed two husbands, three children, and scores of lovers in her fight for sexual equality and freedom. This richly imagined portrait of a larger-than-life woman is at once sympathetic to her suffering and unsparing of her faults. Deeply insightful, this is Margaret Sanger's story as she herself might have told it.
