"Woman Rebel: The Margaret Sanger Story" is a powerful, deeply personal biography from Peter Bagge, who writes and draws this compelling portrait of a woman whose relentless fight for reproductive rights reshaped American history. Through bold, expressive art and a sharp, unflinching narrative, the story traces Margaret Sanger’s journey from a childhood marked by her mother’s suffering to her controversial yet pivotal role in advancing birth control—challenging laws, alienating allies, and leaving a lasting legacy. The striking cover by Peter Bagge complements the intensity of this definitive account.

Margret Sanger grows up in Corning, New York, seeing her mother suffer from the effects of 18 pregnancies. She becomes a nurse and begins to campaign for contraception (still illegal in many venues) and free love. Abrasive and self-centered, she alienates many of her allies and family members, but continues in her struggle. Near the end of her life she helps fund creation of the birth control pill, and sees the Supreme Court declare contraception legal throughout the land.
