This poster is an advertisement for Margaret Sangers newspaper, The Women Rebel. While the letter Margaret Sanger wrote in 1914 discussed the censorship of her newspaper, this poster is an advertisement for the paper. The 1920s was an important time in women’s history. Women started to become more sexually provocative, as seen in the famous flappers. Margaret Sangers newspaper was able to be advertised even though it continued what was seen as inappropriate and obscene due to the change in women’s actions and what they were willing to put up with.
This Pamphlet created by Norman Carr M.D. in the 1920s discusses various options for birth control during this time period. Norman Carr claims Lanteen is the most reliable method. Lanteen is the manufacturer of some birth control methods. During the 1920s majority of birth control methods were gels and diaphragms. This pamphlet is significant because it shows how the Comstock law was not enforced during this time period. Previously, this would have counted as obscene material and would not be allowed to be advertised, but this pamphlet was published for the public.
