Margaret Sanger and Mary Ware Dennett, two champions of birth control in the early 20th century, would probably remain rivals if they were alive today. “But they would both be appalled to learn how many of their battles are still being fought,” Margaret Talbot writes.
The Frenemies Who Fought to Bring Birth Control to the U.S.
Though Margaret Sanger and Mary Ware Dennett shared a mission, they took very different approaches. Their ensuing rivalry was political, sometimes even personal.

Vesuvius, Italy.
The infamous 79CE eruption buried the Roman city of Pompeii. The explosive eruption rained pumice down on the city before pyroclastic density currents swept down killing anyone who was still there and burying the city in hot ash & pumice deposits. The city lay hidden until 1599.
