I chose to write my biographical article on Margaret Higgins Sanger, because I admire the work she has done and that continues to be done, thanks to her. She was one of eleven children born to Michael and Anne Higgins; a working-class Roman Catholic Irish-American family; on September 14, 1879 in Corning, New York. Margaret's father was a bottle man and one who enjoyed talking politics, rather than earning the money needed to care for such a large family, so he spent much of his life in poverty. Although I think her father had an impact on who Margaret grew up to be; it was her mother who really shaped her into the person she was. Along with the eleven children she gave birth to, Anne also had many miscarriages, Margaret believed that it was the numerous pregnancies that took a toll on her mother's health and contributed to her early death at the age of 40. (BIO, 2014) Wanting a Better Life After living a life for herself and then the one she grew up with, Margaret went on to attend Claverack College and Hudson River Institute in pursuit of a degree in nursing. She worked at White Plains Hospital, before meeting her husband, William Sanger in 1902. William was an architect. The couple had three children. In 1910 they moved to New York City. At the time, New York wasn't suited to his radical politics, but they quickly found themselves very involved in that world. Margaret joined the "Women's Committee of the Socialist Party of New York and the Liberal Club." (BIO, 2014) In 1912 Margaret began a campaign to educate women about sex; wrote her first article titled "What Every Girl Should Know." He also began writing for The Call, "a radical publication that propelled much of the progressive agenda."
