Margaret Sanger: Biographical Sketch 

Margaret Louise Higgins was born on September 14, 1879
in Corning, New York to Michael Hennessey Higgins, an
Irish-born stonemason with iconoclastic ideas, and
Anne Purcell Higgins, a devoutly Catholic
Irish-American. When Anne Higgins died from
tuberculosis at the age of fifty, Margaret, the sixth
of eleven children, pointed to her mother's frequent
pregnancy as the underlying cause of her premature
death. Margaret Higgins sought to escape what she
viewed as a grim class and family heritage. With the
help of her older sisters, she attended Claverack
College and Hudson River Institute in 1896 and then
entered the nursing program at White Plains Hospital
in 1900. In 1902, just months before completing the
program, she met and married architect William Sanger.
Margaret Sanger and her husband had three children and
the family settled in Hastings, a Westchester County
suburb of New York City.
