After The Vote Was Won

The vote may have been won but women were still not created equal in the eyes of our government. This became the fuel to enable various women to continue the fight for equality. Out of the suffrage movement arose the Birth Control Movement led by public health nurse, Margaret Sanger. She founded the American Birth Control League, which later became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in 1942. For years to come birth control advocates engaged in countless legal suits. In 1960, The Food and Drug Administration approved birth control pills.
