Description

Essay from the year 2021 in the subject Sociology - Gender Studies, grade: 1,7, Dresden Technical University, language: English, abstract: This essay discusses the pill's influence on the sixties women movements.

The fact that the prescription of the pill was linked to several conditions makes its success all the more impressive.
