Carl Djerassi was responsible for the chemical synthesis of the first steroid oral contraceptive: he is widely referred to as the 'father of the Pill'. In This Man's Pill, Djerassi reflects on the impact the invention of the oral contraceptive pill has had on the world, and on Djerassi himself. It includes a revisionist account of the early history of the Pill, debunking many of the journalistic and romantic accounts of its scientific origin. Here is a uniquely authoritative account of a discovery that changed the world.
