Making Contact

"Making Contact" is produced by International Media Project, an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1994, committed to investigative journalism, in-depth critical analysis, the promotion of civic participation and the dissemination of educational material. Its core focus is National Radio Project, the team that creates Making Contact.

In 1965 Margaret Crane was a young graphic designer with an idea: Why couldn’t women do their own pregnancy tests at home? This is the story of how she launched a product to help women know and make choices for their own bodies – and the inevitable backlash.
