14 lugl 1961 anni - Contraceptive pill is widely made available

Descrizione:

The launch of the contraceptive pill, which suppresses fertility with either progestogen or oestrogen or, more commonly, a combination of both, plays a major role in women’s liberation and contributes to the sexual freedom of the so-called Swinging Sixties. Initially, it is only available to married women, but the law is relaxed in 1967.
Between 1962 and 1969, the number of women taking the pill rises dramatically, from approximately 50,000 to 1 million.
