Who was known as the birth control pioneer?

Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood. In 1916 she opened the first birth control clinic in the US. Following year she was found guilty of "maintaining a public nuisance" and was sent to jail for 30 days. When she came out she re-opened the clinic and continued to persevere through more arrests and prosecutions. She was also involved in a case in 1938 where a judge lifted the federal ban on birth control and diaphragms became popular. When she was in her 80's back in 1950 she underwrote the research necessary to create the first birth control pill. In 1960 she raised $150,000 for the project, and the first oral contraceptive, Enovid, was marketed in the US as invented by Frank Colton.

You are probably asking about Margaret Sanger. A pioneer in women's reproductive health, she opened a clinic in Brooklyn, New York in 1916. While today that does not seem very remarkable, back then the idea of family planning or letting women decide how many children to have was very controversial; despite the large number of women who wanted the clinic's services, it was shut down by police within days, and Sanger was arrested.
