Woman Rebel The Margaret Sanger Story
Reviews

A brief overview of the life and work of Margaret Sanger, in comic form. I would not recommend this to people unfamiliar with Margaret Sanger or even those without a firm grasp of the history of this time period. The narrative was very choppy, with lots of leaps in time (time change only noted in very small writing in the upper corner of the panel) which made it difficult to keep track of what year you were in, and what historical events were going on at the time. My favorite vignettes were about her childhood (her mother was pregnant 18 times; 11 children were born, and 10 lived to adulthood) and about her free love lifestyle. Pretty progressive! I did not enjoy the artwork; very busy for my taste. However, Bagge's fair image of Sanger was appropriate. Sanger was a woman of her time and she did use language and methods that today we would consider racist and backwards. However, this does not take away from her contributions to women's rights.
