Enovid

Enovid was the first oral contraceptive pill approved for use in the early 1960s. It contained a combination of synthetic hormones, estrogen, and progestin, which prevent ovulation, making it effective in preventing pregnancy. Enovid revolutionized reproductive health by giving women greater control over their fertility and contributed significantly to the women's liberation movement. Its introduction sparked discussions about sexual health, women's rights, and family planning. While it had significant benefits, it also raised concerns about potential side effects, leading to improvements and innovations in contraceptive technologies over the years.
