Which combination correctly matches a founder with her contribution: Margaret Sanger — Planned Parenthood?

• A. Margaret Sanger
• B. Florence Nightingale
• C. Mary Breckinridge
• D. Lillian Wald

Answer: (A)

Margaret Sanger is known for championing birth control and building organizations that eventually became Planned Parenthood. Her work focused on giving women access to contraception and information about reproductive health, which laid the groundwork for the major provider and advocate that Planned Parenthood is today. The other figures are known for different contributions in health care: Florence Nightingale helped establish modern nursing and hospital reform; Mary Breckinridge founded the Frontier Nursing Service and advanced rural midwifery; Lillian Wald promoted public health nursing and urban community health. Because Sanger’s legacy is directly tied to expanding reproductive health services and birth control through organized efforts, her link to Planned Parenthood is the best match.
