The mother memories that are closest to my heart are the small gentle ones that I have carried over from the days of my childhood. They are not profound, but they have stayed with me through life, and when I am very old, they will still be near . . .

Margaret Sanger quote: "Dire poverty drives this mother back again to the factory (no..."

Margaret Sanger quote: "No woman can call herself free until she can choose..."
No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother. Margaret Sanger
Against the State, against the Church, against the silence of the medical profession, against the whole machinery of dead institutions of the past, the woman of today arises. Margaret Sanger
Margaret Sanger quote: "A free race cannot be born of slave mothers."
A free race cannot be born of slave mothers. Margaret Sanger
A mutual and satisfied sexual act is of great benefit to the average woman, the magnetism of it is health giving. When it is not desired on the part of the woman and she gives no response, it should not take place. Margaret Sanger
