The American Birth Control League (ABCL) was an organization founded in 1921 by Margaret Sanger to promote the ideas of birth control.[1]
Early leaders
Among the prominent early leaders of the ABCL were Katharine Hepburn, Lothrop Stoddard, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Sanger herself.[2] Stoddard, a prominent leader among eugenists, was a close personal friend of Sanger.[3][4][5]
Several notable people were in leadership positions of the ABCL, many of who were staunch believers in eugenics, such as C. C. Little, Board of Directors for the ABCL[6] and President of the American Eugenics Society.[7]
