1/12/15 review of the book Birth of the Pill, by Jonathan Eig

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of The Birth of the Pill, by Jonathan Eig.

My Twitter thread review sees The Birth of the Pill, the story of the invention of the birth control pill, as a story of scientific teamwork. It discusses the importance of the pill to women's rights. It discusses some key figures in the work. It discusses some of the book's interesting biological and engineering insights. And it points to some other interesting works worth reading.

Here is a link to Jonathan Eig's book The Birth of the Pill, on the W.W. Norton website.

Also, I bought this book from the Tattered Cover Book Store, a bookstore chain in the Denver metro area.
