Other readings on birth control
Here are a couple of sources that address in more detail some of the birth control issues that were raised in the readings and film:
Laura Briggs, Reproducing Empire: Race, Sex, Science, and U.S. Imperialism in Puerto Rico
Anne Fausto-Sterling, Sexing the Body: Gender Politics and the Construction of Sexuality has two chapters on the "discovery" of sex hormones that address how prevailing conceptualizations of masculinity and femininity affected scientific research into hormones.
