Amy is joined by guest Courtney McPhie to discuss the speeches “Morality and Birth Control” and “The Case for Birth Control” by Margaret Sanger. Topics include marriage as ownership, modesty rules, and sex education.

Courtney McPhie grew up in Colorado, and while she loves the rolling hills of Virginia, she misses the Rocky Mountains. Courtney is a high school English teacher outside Washington, DC, where she fights for equity and representation in the classroom. Another highlight about Courtney is she loves podcasts! Her favorite is NPR’s Code Switch. She has loved participating in Breaking Down Patriarchy because her undergrad offerings of women’s studies courses was extremely limited, so she feels like she is getting the solid education in feminist lit she always wanted.
