Later printing of Margaret Sanger's first separately-published work. The essay initially appeared serially in the socialist newspaper the New York Call, based on lectures given by Sanger to groups of Socialist Party women in 1910-11. It was first published in book form in 1914 by Sanger's some-time companion, the Greek-American anarchist John (truncated) Rompapas – an edition that is practically unobtainable (unseen by Atwater, we are aware of only a single copy in commerce in the past half-century, handled by us). The Third, Revised Edition appeared in 1916 and the current printing appears to be a straight reprinting of that 1916 edition, from the same plates. MOORE & MOORE (Margaret Sanger and the Birth Control Movement: a Bibliography) 53 ("Not seen"). OCLC notes about twenty physical locations for all printings of the current edition.
