    MARGARET H.

    SANGER (1879-1966)

    Carly Vanderkolk
    Arizona State University

    Based on your research, what do you think was your historical


    nurses most significant contribution to nursing and healthcare and
    why?
    I believe Margaret Sangers most significant contribution to
    nursing and healthcare was her research and success in developing
    the first oral contraceptive or birth control pill (ANA, 2016). She
    also created the first Planned Parenthood clinic for women to receive
    proper forms of contraceptives and abortions (Katz, 2000). Her work
    is influential today because many women use the birth control pill
    and utilize birth control clinics to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
    The current low price of birth control makes it easily accessible to
    women of all backgrounds, which is what Sanger wanted to provide
    (Katz, 2000).

    What did you find the most surprising, odd, interesting or curious
    thing about your historical nurse?

    Fig. 2

    What surprised me most about Margaret Sanger was the


    multitude of beliefs she stood for and the amount of feats she was
    able to accomplish during her time. These included creating multiple
    organizations for the legalization of contraceptives, and constantly
    fighting to show the government that birth control is a necessity for a
    majority of women and families (ANA, 2016). She was a strong
    voice in the feminist movement and cared deeply for all races and
    people of all financial backgrounds (ANA, 2016). Towards the end
    of her career she was focused on using contraceptives for population
    control, and wanted to create international leagues to communicate
    with other countries regarding this subject (Katz, 2000). She was
    kind and genuinely cared for others despite being a wealthy woman
    with little professional experience. I was also surprised how she was
    unafraid to stand up for her beliefs and for the well-being of those
    around her, even if it meant going to prison or sacrificing her
    personal life and relationships (Katz, 2000).

    How might you use the information your discovered


    about your historical nurse in your future as a member
    of the healthcare profession?
    Currently I am interested in pursuing a career in
    the fields of Obstetrics and Gynecology , and Margaret
    Sanger was a pioneer in these areas. By knowing the
    roots of this study and how birth control options and
    clinics came to be, it has helped me gain a greater
    appreciation for this field. I am fortunate that I will be
    able to offer care to patients using these methods, and
    that I can continue the research and work of historical
    nurses like Sanger to better the lives of women and
    their families. I hope to be influential like Margaret
    Sanger and to make a difference in the medical field by
    providing people with the information and help they
    need to live healthy and fulfilling lives.
