Margaret Sanger: Back from India

Gilman, Mildred | February 21, 1953 issue

add to cart   close window

The author Margaret Sanger returned recently from a "birth control" trip that circled the globe. She crossed the Pacific by boat to Japan, flew to India, with stops at Hong Kong, Bangkok in Thailand, Singapore, and Sri Lanka, then from India she flew to Paris in France and returned to America by boat, a trip that would have been strenuous for a woman half her age. She told of her pleasure at the warm reception she had received in Japan this time in contrast to the cold shoulder the militarists turned toward her in 1922 and the refusal of the American occupation forces to admit her in 1950, despite the expressed wishes of the people.
