Item description from seller

Uncommon copy of the revised fourth edition of this feminist handbook on reproductive health and abortion. "The Birth Control Handbook is produced not as a favor to an irresponsible medical profession nor as a favor to men who want an easy but 'safe' lay, but as a political act." Indeed, at the time of its first publication in 1968, Canadian law labeled such a production illegal on grounds of obscenity. This fourth edition was published in August, 1970, revised and reprinted in the wake of the 1969 Omnibus Bill that decriminalized birth control; and the same year as the Boston Women's Health Book Collective first issued OUR BODIES, OURSELVES. A scarce piece of Sexual Revolution / Second Wave Feminist educational ephemera. 10.25'' x 7''. Original saddle-stapled newsprint wrappers. Illustrated with black-and-white drawings and photographs throughout. 47, [1] pages. Early ink price ("10c") to front wrapper. Moderate wear and creasing. Leaves toned.
