Margaret Sanger is well-known for informing American women about birth control methods.

She was forced to flee America in 1914 due to public outrage. After she returned to the country she founded the [American Birth Control League]

In recent years, some have criticized Sanger for her outspoken advocacy of eugenics, which they associate with racism.
