Dinner with… PART 2
She sits down, looks you in the eye, and before you’ve even picked up the menu she blurts out something about birth control.
Subtle? Not her style. Dinner just got interesting.
Breaking Taboos
In the early 1900s, you could get arrested just for talking about contraception. She thought that was ridiculous so naturally, she started handing out pamphlets on street corners.
She opened America’s first birth control clinic, got hauled off to jail, and then came right back swinging. Stirring the pot wasn’t enough for her — she threw the whole pot across the room.
The conversation doesn’t stay quiet for long. One minute she’s cracking a sharp joke about the hypocrisy of politicians, the next she’s telling you about the time she smuggled diaphragms into the country disguised as “medical supplies.”
You may not agree with everything she says (and trust me, she’s got opinions), but you can’t look away.
Of course, she wasn’t all charm.
Her ideas about eugenics? Still controversial, and for good reason. Hero of women’s health? Reckless radical? Depends who you ask.
But boring? Never.
By dessert, you realize you didn’t just eat with history — you ate with a firecracker. The kind of person who would’ve made Thanksgiving dinner very awkward but changed the conversation forever.
You might argue with her the whole time, but you’d still come back for round two.
The Reveal
So who’s across the table, fearless, fiery, and laughing at the thought of being “too loud”?
Margaret Sanger.
Would you take the dinner invite? And if you did… would you argue, or just let her keep talking?
