Our Lady of Birth Control: A Cartoonist's Encounter with Margaret Sanger #[nn]
"Sex Ed Seventies Style" is a vibrant, deeply personal comic from Sabrina Jones, who both writes and illustrates this striking account of Margaret’s early activism. Through Jones’s bold artwork and sharp storytelling, we follow Margaret as she navigates labor strikes, radical circles, and the quiet revolution of reproductive autonomy—before choosing to forge her own path with a bold new vision for women’s voices. The cover, a collaboration between Jones and Tabitha Lahr, captures the era’s electric energy with a touch of defiant grace.
