Still a man's world: Confronting the role of liberal feminism in U.S. birth control politics using 'Ms. Magazine'

This thesis explores how feminists have shaped the dialogue on reproductive rights using a collection of Ms. Magazine articles on the topic from the magazine's first year of publication in 1972 through 2011. It compares the historical narrative represented by Ms. Magazine to the work of feminist historians in order to provide a critique of the liberal feminist viewpoint the magazine frequently publishes. This research provides the evidence for an argument for a more comprehensive view on what is necessary for women to secure reproductive justice.
