Gail Collins Quote
Sanger was asked to write a column on sex education, What Every Girl Should Know, for The Call, a daily newspaper with socialist sympathies. When she tackled the subject of venereal disease, her column was banned by Anthony Comstock, who had acquired censorship as well as prosecutorial powers. The paper ran an empty space with the title: What Every Girl Should Know. Nothing; by order of the U.S. Post Office.
