Birth Control
We Didn't Start the Fire: The History Podcast - A podcast by Crowd Network
The free love of the 1960s was a crucial step in the world becoming more sex positive, but would any of it have happened without the invention of The Pill? This week, we're chatting all things birth control - how it came about, the reaction (hello again Pope Paul!), and allll the weird old timey forms of birth controls that once existed. Plus, we discuss the long term legacy of The Pill, the controversial idea of male birth control, and the modern day battle for bodily autonomy. To wade through it all, we're joined by Dr Catherine Roach, the author of 'Good Sex: Transforming America through the New Gender and Sexual Revolution'. Learn more about your ad choices.
