Description: Until 1969, contraception was illegal in Canada. According to the Criminal Code, it was an offence to advertise or sell anything designed to prevent conception or cause abortion. In this book, Brenda Appleby analyses the process of legislative reform that ended in the removal of such references from the Code.
