Summary[edit]

Model of a contraceptive pill, Europe, c. 1970
Title
Model of a contraceptive pill, Europe, c. 1970
Description
English: Birth control was still a taboo subject before the 1960s. "The pill" seemed an ideal contraceptive because it was effective, not messy, and did not interfere with sex. The oral contraceptive pill also empowered women to take greater control of contraception. However, the first pills had a far higher level of hormones than required. This caused heart problems in some women. Later pills rectified this. "The pill"; is still prescribed worldwide.
