Jonathan Eig will talk about his new book, The Birth of the Pill: How Four Crusaders Reinvented Sex and Launched a Revolution, during the annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair.
Today we take the Pill for granted, but author and former Wall Street Journal reporter Jonathan Eig will share the story of its tumultuous origins and how four forward-thinking people -- a feminist, a scientist, a doctor, and a philanthropist -- swam against the tide.
