Sneak Peek at Toni Rakestraw's The Woman Rebel
The
judge cleared his throat then looked her squarely in the eye. “Mrs. Sanger, the
evidence has proven that you have broken the law in the State of New York by
opening your so-called birth control clinic. Despite your opinion on the
matter, women do not have the right to copulate with a feeling of security that
there will be no resulting conception. However, I am inclined to be lenient
with you so you can return to your husband and children, if you’ll promise not
to break the law again.” His voice rumbled through the courtroom. Margaret
thought he was rather condescending.
She
straightened her shoulders and stared right back at the judge. “Your Honor,
thank you for your leniency, but I cannot respect the law as it exists today.”
She raised her chin defiantly.
The
judge’s smile disappeared.

She also penned They Call Her Granny, another story in HerStory.
