Margaret Sanger and Otto Bobsein popularised the phrase "birth control" in 1914.[31][32] Sanger was mainly active in the United States, but had gained an international reputation by the 1930s. Sanger established a short lived birth control clinic in 1916,[33] which was shut down just nine days later. Sanger was arrested for distributing contraceptives, and went on trial.[34] Here as well, the publicity surrounding the arrest, trial, and appeal sparked birth control activism across the United States, and earned the support of numerous donors, who would provide her with funding and support for future endeavors.[35] She went on to found the first birth control league in America in 1921.
