It is entirely misleading that this article says "Pincus, however, dismissed these accounts of side effects and occasional pregnancy, dismissing the concern of his female colleagues Dr. Edris Rice-Wray and Adeleine Satterthwaite". It is clear from Gregory Pincus' letters and papers (available for public viewing at the Library of Congress) that he not only had concern for users of the pill, but consideration for his colleagues. While it is important to be aware of issues of sexism, classism and racism in history, I fear that this excerpt's author has allowed her distaste for 50's era morals to color her portrayal of Dr. Pincus' character. This is both unfortunate and inappropriate.
[edit] Not "Envoid", but "Enovid"
"Envoid" is incorrect, see http://www.fda.gov/oc/history/makinghistory/enovid.html -- 137.189.4.1 15:30, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Update needed
This page really needs a rewrite... there's a lot of missing info. I'll try to update it when I can - just thought it should be noted.
