Birth Control Review

Margaret Sanger founded Birth Control Review, a monthly journal, in 1917, and it was regarded by her as the first step in establishing a national organization. A group of women led by Juliet Rublee and Frances Ackermann organized the New York Women’s Publishing Company to support the Review. Its financial deficits were covered by special contributions from women’s groups. The staff of the magazine was involved in setting up the American Birth Control League in 1921 and the journal became the voice of the league. By 1923 the Review had a budget of $24,565. It continued to be published until 1940.
