In "Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant? (Excerpt)," Peter Bagge delivers a sharp, unflinching look at the early life of Margaret Sanger, tracing her formative years in Corning, New York, where she witnesses the toll of relentless childbirth on her mother. Through Bagge’s incisive storytelling and distinctive art—rendered in collaboration with Joanne Bagge on color and lettering—this excerpt captures Sanger’s fierce, often alienating drive as she becomes a nurse and begins her controversial campaign for contraception and sexual freedom. The cover by Raymond Pettibon adds a stark, provocative edge to this powerful entry in The Best American Comics 2015.
In Corning, New York, a young Margaret Sanger bears witness to her mother’s toll from 18 pregnancies, a burden that shapes her lifelong fight for reproductive rights. As a nurse, she channels that pain into a bold, unapologetic campaign for contraception and sexual freedom, challenging laws and norms with a fierce, often divisive determination. Her journey is one of conviction, controversy, and the relentless pursuit of a cause that would redefine women’s autonomy.
