Medicalizing Reproduction
This article explores one chapter in the history of medicalization through a focused study of oral contraceptives and home pregnancy tests. Each commercially successful in developed nations and both decades old (the Food and Drug Administration approved oral contraceptives in 1960 and home pregnancy tests in 1977), these reproductive technologies created the first pharmaceutical mega-market comprised of young, healthy, sexually active, heterosexu…
On Speed
There is much to praise in Nicolas Rasmussen's engaging and lively history of amphetamines in the twentieth century. (Amphetamines refer both to a distinct compound and to a class of pharmaceuticals from which other compounds—including Dexedrine, “crystal meth,” and Ecstasy—have been derived.) Rasmussen knows how to tell a good story, and he tells it well. On Speed is replete with fascinating anecdotes and bold suggestions about a group of drugs …

Accounts of Innocence

What circumstances, Davis asks, have encouraged us to tell the story of sexual abuse as we do? And why, in this particular cult…
Making room for rubbers
Before the Food and Drug Administration approved in 1960 the distribution of oral contraceptives, the most popular form of birth control in the United States was the condom. Scholars have often downplayed men's involvement in the history of birth control, relegating knowledge and use of contraceptive technology to a separate "female domain." This article explores the role of condoms in the evolution of the American birth control business, attitud…
Devices and desires
"A down-and-out sausage-casing worker by day who turned surplus animal intestines into a million-dollar condom enterprise at night: inventors who fashioned cervical caps out of watch springs: and a mother of six who kissed photographs of the inventor of the Pill - these are just a few of the fascinating individuals who make up the history of contraceptives in America. Scholars of birth control typically frame this history as one of physicians, la…
