I will be...
In our panel, I plan to be Margaret Sanger, founder of the American Birth Control League. I first learned about Sanger in a U.S. History class and was amazed at this woman's courage fight for the use of a technology in the form of contraception that would free a lot of women from the 1950's job of staying home with children. As a child in a household of eleven children with many duties to take care of siblings, Sanger certainly understood how time-consuming it is to have a family and to be responsible for children. After working with many women who became sick and even died from illegal abortions, Sanger realized how important it was to find a way for women to be able to express themselves sexually without it forcing them to have a life with a husband and children unless they looked to dangerous and illegal abortions for an answer. I am interested to read more about Sanger's view on gender roles, especially given that she was fighting for all of this during the still very conservative 1950's and how technology assisted her in her fight.
