Description - On the Pill by Elizabeth Siegel Watkins

In this look at the Pill's cultural and medical history, the author re-examines the scientific and ideological forces that led to its development, the part women played in debates over its application and the roles of the media, medical profession and pharmaceutical industry in deciding issues of its safety and meaning. Her study is intended not only to help readers understand the contraceptive revolution as such, but also to appreciate the misinterpretations that surround it.
