Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story

How the battle to legalize birth control was won - not perhaps the most exciting topic, you might think. But the page-turner content and the comic book format soon had me hooked. I loved the detailed depictions of real people and of Sanger herself, warts and all.Sanger radically changed the world for many women and Peter Bagge's ability to condense extensive research into wonderful drawings makes Margaret Sanger shine.

Great comic book, I loved it! Sanger is an inspiring figure and Bagge a great author! I really recommend it.

I am a Bagge fan but I don't share his admiration for this hateful harridin. Sanger was a sociopathic, self-aggrandizing, baby-killer and full time kook. She fell for (((communism))) and (((free love))) and was thus funded and controlled by the (((element))). Like Marx, she ignored her own children with lethal consequences. And, she was a total fruitcake of a spiritualist and Rosicrucian. Ask African-Americans if they share Bagge's excuses for her eugenicist plans to eliminate the pesky "negro". Better yet - watch her on youtube being ineterviewed by Mike Wallace in the 1950's. A more repulsive witch it would be hard to find.

Comics are one of the best ways to learn history. Bagge crushes it with this one.

This is an excellent, informative comic about the life of an incredibly influential woman who's amazing story has been marginalized and villified by conservatives. The cartoony style threw me off at first, but the really expressive illustrations and solid storytelling won me over, and I ultimately felt very connected with Margaret's story and with the history of women's liberation. A really wonderful book. Peter Bagge is a very thoughtful and compelling writer/illustrator.
