Discussion of contraception and related topics (including feminism, religion, and eugenics) changed the way that writers depicted women, marriage, and family life. Tracing this shift, Craig compares disparate responses to the birth control controversy, from early skepticism by mainstream feminists, reflected in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland, to concern about the movement's race and class implications suggested in Nella Larsen's Quicksand, to enthusiastic speculation about contraception's political implications, as in Virginia Woolf's Three Guineas. While these texts emphasized birth control's potential to transform marriage and family life and emancipate women from the "slavery" of constant childbearing, birth control advocates also used less-than-liberatory language that excluded the poor, the mentally ill, non-whites, and others. Ultimately, Craig argues, the debates that began in these early political and literary texts-texts that document both the birth control movement's idealism and its exclusionary rhetoric-helped shape the complex legacy of family planning and women's rights with which the United States and the United Kingdom still struggle. 410 0$aAmerican Literatures Initiative 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature 606 $aBirth control in literature 606 $aFeminism and literature 606 $aEugenics in literature 606 $aBirth control$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aBirth control$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature. 615 0$aBirth control in literature. 615 0$aFeminism and literature. 615 0$aEugenics in literature. 615 0$aBirth control$xSocial aspects 615 0$aBirth control$xSocial aspects 676 $a810.9/9287 700 $aCraig$b Layne Parish$01475571 712 02$aAmerican Literatures Initiative. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790868903321 996 $aWhen sex changed$93689810 997 $aUNINA
