The early twentieth century was a turning point in American history-especially in regards to the acquisition of women 's rights. While the era was considered to be prosperous and later thought to be a happy-go-lucky time, in actuality, it was a time of grave social conflict and human suffering (Parish, 110). Among those who endured much suffering were women. As Margaret Sanger found out, women, especially those who were poor, had no choice regarding pregnancy. The only way not to get pregnant was by not having sex- a choice that was almost always the husband 's. This was even more true in the case of lower-class men for whom, 'sex was the poor man 's only luxury ' (Douglas, 31).
In the “A Feminist Odyssey,” she uses the term “feminism” to say that she wants every human being to be treated in the same, fair manner. She wanted us to be aware that women dominate the nursing field. “Our generation has given the gift of choice to expand our possibilities, to embrace careers” (99). It was said that a woman could have a job but as soon as she had a baby they would no longer work “Young women expected to limit their aspirations to traditionally female careers” (99). Some profession that comes to mind for “Women’s Work” would be Teacher, Nursing, Housekeeping, Maid, and Housewife’s.

Wollstonecraft also worried that education is also sacrificed in order to pursue beauty to secure a husband. Wollstonecraft states that, “strength in body and mind are sacrificed to the libertine notions of beauty, to the desire of establishing themselves, -- the only way women can rise in the world, --by marriage.” Wollstonecraft by making this statement, is stating the situation that women are forced into by society. In Candide, Cunegonde was in a similar situation. She was admired by Candide for her beauty from the beginning to the end of the story.
This technique requires creation of embryo by IVF and then removal of a blastomere from each apparently good embryo of an early stage. The isolated cell is then tested for the presence or absence of the inherited disease. PGD is a method of selecting which embryo to place in a woman womb. i support this method because couples can avoid having children with seriously early onset inherited disease disorders such as Tay-Sachs disease. However, it is more ethical to screen the embryo before you implant it, rather than waiting until the woman is pregnant, testing the fetus and then having an abortion.
League members were motivated by their experiences as mothers, those experiences embolden them to claim a voice (Shulte 4).

This promoted her to push the value of women’s right to have birth control and not jeopardize their health with dangerous abortion methods. In in our text Healthy People 2020 tells us that one of women’s’ greatest accomplishments is to select when and whether to chose to have and increase a family size (Friis, Bell & Philibert,
Planned Parenthood gave women the belief that they had control and a right over their own bodies and it was their choice to do as they please with it, which was groundbreaking ideal of its time. In an age that women where a property of either their fathers or of their husbands, who established complete control over these women, Planned Parenthood was an organization that went against these common practices. Margaret Sanger, creator of Planned Parenthood, wanted to change the most common practice of “‘breeding’ too many children” (Shaw 38) out of women even if they did not want them. Sanger, being such a progressive, feminist, had a series of ideal that dealt with the empowerment and rights of women in a way never seen before. So her desire to create a team to offer women, who she saw as trapped within the patriarchy, was understandable.
