The Great Canadian Birth Control Trial
Because history should be remembered, Masters of Their Own Bodies was written to promote awareness of a landmark court case that challenged Canada’s repressive birth control laws in the 1930s. For those with curiosity, academic purpose, or simply a general interest.
​
Vicki Backman, the wife of author Peter Giuliani, has collated and typed up the almost 2000 page transcript of the trial so that it can be accessible to all.
