Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography is a memoir written by Margaret Sanger, a prominent American birth control activist and women's rights advocate. The book chronicles Sanger's life from her childhood in a large family in upstate New York to her work as a nurse in New York City's Lower East Side, where she witnessed the devastating effects of unwanted pregnancies and unsafe abortions on women and families.

She founded the American Birth Control League (which later became Planned Parenthood) and spent decades fighting for the legalization and availability of contraception. In her autobiography, Sanger recounts her struggles against censorship, legal battles, and public backlash, as well as her personal life, including her marriages and relationships.
