The early 20th century birth control movement was marked by an uneasy marriage between feminist rationales for women's control over their bodies and conservative medical control over the means of that control. The birth control clinic, first founded in the U.S. in 1916, became the embodiment of a larger movement that succeeded in legalizing and popularizing contraception. But it was more than just a symbol of women's newly articulated desire to limit their fertility, it was a functioning space, populated by lay activists, medical professionals and the working-class women who were its patients. By focusing on the birth control clinic and its place in the larger movement for contraception, this dissertation looks at how birth control theories were put into practice. Clinic activists were forced into working relationships with local doctors, social workers, politicians, religious leaders and potential patients, and their efforts were often more cautious and cooperative than national leaders who focused on educational or legislative birth control campaigns. Organized thematically, the dissertation summarizes the experience of almost 650 clinics operating in the U.S. between 1916-1939, analyzing the creation of several different clinic models and discussing chronological trends. It analyzes how activists and patients shaped the services offered at the clinics, how theories on race and eugenics were played out in practice at the clinics, how legal interpretations affected efforts to open clinics and persuade public and private institutions to support, and how the national birth control movement interacted with local clinics.
