Saturday Night Social, Sponsored by Margaret Sanger

On this day in 1879, Margaret Sanger was born. She went on to do a whole lot to help American women secure more agency over their own reproductive systems (like open the first birth control clinic in the U.S., fight to give women access to safe abortions, and help legalize contraception, NO BIG DEAL), but you probably knew that already. Besides, you don’t have time to read a long birthday post about Margaret Sanger when you still have to break out the Ouija board, summon her ghost, and offer it a piece of birthday cake that you made yourself. (Margaret Sanger’s ghost can spot a store-bought cake a mile away, and, FYI, she prefers funfetti).
