Trade Review

"Hajo's extensive research is unmatched in the field."--The Journal of American History


"Well-researched, well-organized, and clearly written, Hajo's book offers a solid social, cultural, and political history of contraceptive clinic services on the ground in a variety of local areas."--Women and Social Movements in the U.S.

"This useful, practical history of birth control approaches the topic from the unique perspective of the clinic.
