With a novel focus on the words and deeds of ordinary Americans, Trent MacNamara explores the democratic underpinnings of birth control's legitimacy in America. He charts a mass movement in which men as well as women built a new reproductive ethic around hotly contested ideas about time, money, divinity, family, and health.
